Growth-hormone controversy associated with Save Lids to Save Lives
The documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. reported that some products promoted through Save Lids to Save Lives had previously used milk from cows treated with bovine somatotropin. The issue attracted criticism because the hormone is restricted or banned in several countries and has been the subject of public-health debate. Yoplait subsequently agreed to remove such milk from the relevant products.
