Mossgiel Farm, in Mauchline, Ayrshire, has urged consumers to 'call out big food' after the recent approval of the additive Bovaer to cow feed, aimed at cutting methane emissions from the cattle.
An Ayrshire dairy farm has reiterated their commitment to organic, additive-free milk amidst controversy around Bovaer.
Bovaer is an additive used in cow feed to reduce methane emissions from cattle that has been approved for use in the UK. “For years our superfood has been devalued. It’s story removed by supermarket ‘standardised’ marketing and peeps in suits in a race to the bottom of prices to make their profit sheets look better, and no care for how things are produced other than to shift blame from them if anything doesn’t go their way.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.
“Shout that you want the name of the dairy on the label, not hidden so the supermarket can swap suppliers for the cheapest version at the drop of a hat.
