PENNSYLVANIA: Pa. Ag Dept. milk label rules postponed - (Associated Press)
November 29, 2007 – 8:51 pmHARRISBURG, PA — The state is reconsidering a decision that would stop dairies from labeling milk containers as hormone-free.
The additional scrutiny by the Agriculture Department and governor’s office is expected to take two months or more, postponing the new rule at least a month beyond its original Jan. 1 effective date.
A spokesman for Gov. Ed Rendell says opposition from rural lawmakers and farm lobbyists prompted the additional review.
