MILK! 🤠🐄 Dairy/milk is used in so many of our day-to-day foods, but many wonder about the use of antibiotics or hormones in milk. Here are the answers:

There are NO GROWTH HORMONES OR ANTIBIOTICS! Milk is regulated by the Canadian government and the BC government if you're choosing milk from BC. There are extensive quality checks and tests to ensure the safest, highest quality production for consumers. Milk is, however, fortified/enriched with vitamins and minerals. For some foods, fortification is mandatory, as per the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Canadian milk has been fortified with vitamins A and D since the 1970s to ensure adequate amounts are added to maintain health.

🤠🐄乳製品和牛奶跟我們的日常生活息息相關，但許多人都懷疑牛奶中含有各種抗生素或激素。 究竟奶類製品是否含有激素或抗生素?

沒有！ 如果您選擇 BC 省的牛奶，牛奶受加拿大政府和 BC 省政府監管。以確保為消費者提供最安全、最高質量的產品，牛奶必須通過廣泛的質量檢查和測試。 牛奶更富含維生素和礦物質。 根據加拿大食品檢驗局 (CFIA) 的規定，某些食品必須添加各種營養素。 自 1970 年代以來，加拿大牛奶已添加了維生素 A 和 D，以確保添加足夠的量以維持健康。
