Whole Milk

Thank you for your comments, Andy. While milk from cows naturally contains a small amount of Vitamin D3, Federal law mandates that we add Vitamin D3 to all non-fat, skim, and reduced fat milks, and we've always added Vitamin D3 to our traditionally pasteurized whole milk. We're now adding Vitamin D3 to our ultra pasteurized whole milk, too. The change was made due to the consistent number of requests we receive from consumers regarding the vitamin.

We still offer whole milk without added Vitamin D3 in the aseptic, one liter package, and our nonfat dry milk is free from added Vitamin D3, as well. If your local retailer doesn't carry either of those, be sure to ask the dairy section or store manager to stock them for you. 

Hi LaBerta - We offer our milk in both traditionally pasteurized (HTST) and ultra pasteurized (UP) versions. We recently released our Grassmilk™ which is both traditionally pasteurized and non-homogenized. At this time, it's only available on the west coast. However, as demand continues to grow, we're hoping to expand its distribution. We'll be sure to keep you posted. Thanks!

Hi Noma - Below, you'll see I explained to Jeff that we offer our milk in both traditionally pasteurized (HTST) and ultra pasteurized (UP) versions. Our milk that is traditionally pasteurized will be labeled "Pasteurized," while our milk that is ultra pasteurized will be labeled "Ultra Pasteurized." Be sure to always check your carton label to confirm you are purchasing the type of milk you prefer. Thanks! 

Thanks for the note, Jeff! We actually offer our milk in both traditionally pasteurized (HTST) and ultra pasteurized (UP) versions. Our milk that is traditionally pasteurized will be labeled "Pasteurized," where our milk that is ultra pasteurized will be labeled "Ultra Pasteurized." All of our gallons are traditionally pasteurized while our half gallons are a mix of both. Be sure to always check the carton label to confirm you are purchasing the type of milk you prefer. Hope this helps. Cheers! 

Thanks for the feedback, Nanda! We'll be sure our product team hears your request. In the meantime, you might find it helpful to know that we do still offer our shelf-stable liter of aseptic whole milk without added Vitamin D along with our nonfat dry milk powder. If your local retailer doesn't currently carry these, be sure to request they do! 

Thanks for the feedback, Vera! We appreciate you taking the time to contact us and will be sure to pass your comments onto our product team. 

Hi Jill - We started adding Vitamin D to our ultra-pasteurized whole milk because that's what we heard our consumers wanted. However, we do still offer our shelf-stable aseptic liter of whole milk without added Vitamin D along with our nonfat dry milk powder. We truly appreciate your feedback and will be sure our product team hears your concerns. 

Thank you for your feedback, Christine! We started adding Vitamin D to all of our traditionally pasteurized and ultra pasteurized whole milk because that's what we heard our consumers wanted. Although Vitamin D occurs naturally in milk, it can often be low due to several reasons which include the breed of the animal, the animal's exposure to sunlight, the animals diet, its lactation, and the season of the year. It may be helpful to know that we are still offering our shelf-stable aseptic whole milk without added Vitamin D along with our nonfat dry milk powder. Thanks again for your comments. I'll be sure to pass your concerns onto our product team!  

So sorry to hear that, Paula! I'll be sure to pass your concerns onto our product team. It may be helpful to know that we do still offer our shelf-stable aseptic whole milk without added Vitamin D in addition to our nonfat dry milk powder.
