Monsanto je uložio pritužbu protiv mljekarskih firmi koje na svojim proizvodima ističu da njihovo mlijeko ne sadrži rBGH, sintetski kravlji hormon rasta. Vidi:

Radi se o njihovom pokušaju da zaštite svoj proizvod, POSILAC, a za što je ta njihova umotvorina odgovorna:
"Monsanto, supported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), insists that rBGH milk is indistinguishable from natural milk, and that it is safe for consumers. This is blatantly false:
- rBGH makes cows sick. Monsanto has been forced to admit to about 20 toxic effects, including mastitis, on its POSILAC label.
- rBGH milk is contaminated by pus, due to the mastitis commonly induced by rBGH, and antibiotics used to treat the mastitis.
- rBGH milk is chemically and nutritionally different than natural milk.
- rBGH milk is contaminated with rBGH, traces of which are absorbed through the gut.
- rBGH milk is supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), which is readily absorbed through the gut.
- Excess levels of IGF-1 have been incriminated as a cause of breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
- IGF-1 blocks natural defense mechanisms against early submicroscopic cancers.
- rBGH factory farms pose a major threat to the viability of small dairy farms."
