Have they lost their damn minds? This is an eye-opener Artificial Sweeteners in Milk Got diet milk? In a highly controversial move, the dairy industry wants to market artificially sweetened milk—without any special label to alert consumers. In a petition filed with the FDA, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) seek to change the definition of “milk” so that chemical sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose can be used as optional ingredients not listed on the product label. If the petition—originally filed in 2009 and now under consideration by the FDA—is successful, these hidden additives could also be included in 17 other dairy products—including whipping cream, low-fat and non-fat yogurt, eggnog, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and half-and-half—without requiring any special labeling [ link to health.yahoo.net] Quoting: AKObserver Hey AKO. It's already in yogurt, but wow, I didn't realize they wanted to add it to all the others. Why? Maybe it IS time to get my goats. I don't think hubs would say yes, though. Quoting: Texan Buckeye I was a dairy farmer 1/2 my life I thought it was bad enough when they added it to yogurt but this is outrageous. I'm with you on the Goats at least you know what you're getting.
