Milk Facts
Alternative beverages have plant protein, but they are heavily fortified & do not offer the same package of 13 essential nutrients found in real milk products.
One 8-ounce glass of an alternative almond beverage only provides 1 gram of protein, while real dairy milk provides 8 grams of protein per 8-ounce serving.
Dairy Farming
Tennessee dairy farmers care about their farms, their animals and the land they work.
Environmental practices on dairy farms are regulated by both federal and state agencies. Not only do farmers consistently meet these regulations, but dairy farmers constantly work to improve sustainability practices.
Milk Safety
Rigorous testing ensures antibiotics do not enter the milk supply. All milk is tested for antibiotics on the farm and at the processing plant. Following government regulations, any milk testing positive for antibiotics cannot be sold to the public, never reaching the consumer through any milk products.
