Local Farmers Fear Artificial Milk Market Threat
Saline area dairy farmers voiced alarm over chemical milk sold in Michigan. The product contains sodium caseinate and vegetable fat, with critics noting it tastes flat when warm and lacks calcium and protein. At a Michigan Milk Producers Association meeting, farmers approved a move to raise compulsory promotion contributions from 2 to 4 cents per hundredweight, potentially $140 to $150 annually per farm. Dean Foods and Liberty Dairy have introduced the product as the first large scale attempt in west-central Michigan, though none in Saline have seen it yet. officials warn the market could threaten dairy sales and industry stability. A fur coat found remains unclaimed after a week.
