According to social media reports, recent consumer backlashes against dairy cooperatives using the feed additive Bovaer on some farms have sparked widespread calls for boycotts. This guide offers practical advice on how to avoid Bovaer, whether due to ethical concerns, a preference for organic food, or general caution about synthetic additives in the food supply.

According to the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA), milk from cows fed the methane-reducing additive Bovaer is safe for human consumption. While public concern about novel food technologies is understandable, extensive regulatory reviews from agencies worldwide have determined that Bovaer is not harmful to humans when used as directed in animal feed. This article explores the scientific evidence and regulatory conclusions regarding the safety of Bovaer.
