According to the USDA's National Organic Program, certified organic dairy farms are strictly prohibited from using synthetic growth hormones, including recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) or recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). This means that while all milk naturally contains some hormones, organic milk comes from cows that were never treated with these specific artificial substances to increase milk production.
