Yes, now you see the label on dairy products now. You also see the disclamer that there is difference between rBGH and non-rBGH treated.
BUT at the time they started using rBGH and the public found out,back in the 80's, there was a HUGE outcry by the public that we wanted to know what milk was "hormone free" and what milk was from cows that were given the genetically-engineered hormone. The companies making the hormone and the dairy union at the time, both fought the FDA about allowing the label because, they say, there is no difference between the milk from hormone treated and non-hormone treated cows. They did not want milk labeled non-rBGH because that was going to cost them customers.

The milk we bought there is so diluted, it barely tastes of anything and skim milk tastes of absolutely nothing.
