Here's the scoop: Breyers ice cream is going artificial growth hormone-free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ice cream brand on Wednesday announced plans to stop using milk from cows treated with the controversial hormone rBST.<\/p>\n

While the grocery store milk cooler is largely rBST-free — WalMart, for example, stopped buying milk from farms that use hormone treatments in 2008<\/a> — the ice cream section has been slower to follow.<\/p>\n

Among the few big brands that refuse to use milk from rBST-treated cows are Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry's, which like Breyers is owned by international consumer products giant Unilever (UL<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Ben & Jerry's went rBST-free in 1989, and views the stance as part of its socially-conscious business model.<\/p>\n

Breyers said "most of our ice cream products" will be rBST-free by March. Its other ice cream brands, including Good Humor, Klondike, Magnum and Popsicle, will follow.<\/p>\n

The move will make Unilever "the largest ice cream manufacturer in the world to make this commitment," it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
