Being born and raised as dairy farmers, it’s important to us to share the reality of the organic market. The commercial supply of certified organic products is very small. In fact, currently, there is not a U.S. supplier who can meet the demands of the customer market.
For a product to be promoted as organic in the United States, it is REQUIRED to be Certified Organic within the U.S. National Organic Program (NOP). A product must go through inspection by a trained and licensed third party, at minimum annually, and meet the NOP requirements. Contributing parties including feed suppliers, dairy farms, colostrum manufacturers, and distributors are also audited to prove that all inputs are certified organic, prior to the final product being submitted for certification.
Unfortunately, there are many products marketing organic claims without being certified. If a company is not certified organic, but claims organic, they are violating U.S. law.
At WonderCow, we prioritize transparency and honesty in all that we do. Know that product purity and quality is top of our priorities. While we don’t claim organic, we do commit to bringing you top quality colostrum at affordable prices.
WonderCow Colostrum is 100% free of antibiotics, however it is not certified organic. Organic certification states that you may never give a cow an antibiotic. Which means organic farms cannot use one of the best inventions in the last century (that continues to save millions of lives, both people and pets, around the world) to help their cows overcome an infection. We treat our cows like they are our pets, and we care deeply for them. When they get sick, they are sent to a cow hospital, supervised by our veterinarian, where they get the help they need. We then wait until their colostrum is free from antibiotics, with no chance of antibiotic residue, before returning to the herd. Then the colostrum is tested multiple times before it is collected for consumers to ensure there are no antibiotics present. WonderCow’s Colostrum products are not organic, but are 100% guaranteed to be free of antibiotics.
