The Crunchy SuperMom Guide to Dairy
Make sure to Know Your Labels!
Pristine: Raw (unpasteurized) whole (non-homogenized) milk or dairy product from cows that are grass fed. Dairy cows ideally should be born on the farm or purchased from another well trusted farm. Cows should never have any vaccines, antibiotics, or hormones and should always be on pasture weather permitting.
- During the winter months when access to grass is impossible during winter months, high quality hay should be offered.
- Soil quality should be monitored to ensure that the grasses are of highest quality. Grazing land should be plentiful and the cows rotationally grazed.
- Cows should not be given any GMO sugar beets at milking
Clean: Full fat/whole (non-homogenized), pasteurized milk or dairy product from grass fed cows without any synthetic vitamins or other additives added.
Avoid: Lowfat/skim, ultra-pasteurized, homogenized milk or dairy products. Milk or dairy products from cows that are not grass fed. Flavored milk or dairy products and all dairy with added synthetic vitamins or other additives.
