COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- In response to growing consumer demand for transparency and healthier dairy options, a new independent organization has launched a pioneering initiative: the NonBCM7™ Certified program. This innovative certification provides clarity for consumers seeking dairy products—including both cow milk and goat milk—that do not produce BCM-7, a bioactive peptide linked to potential digestive discomfort and inflammatory responses in sensitive individuals.

More than just an educational effort, the organization is also building and maintaining a trusted, independent registry of certified producers and animals, verified through review of genetic testing. Products carrying the green NonBCM7™ Certified Dairy logo are easily identifiable and allow consumers to confidently choose dairy products sourced from verified producers that are free from the risks associated with BCM-7.

"NonBCM7™ Certified dairy products are not genetically modified," the organization emphasized. "This is a natural selection process—not genetic engineering. Through simple, non-invasive genetic testing - much like human ancestry testing – identification of cows and goats that naturally carry the A2 gene which prevents BCM-7 production."

Goat's milk has long been viewed as a gentler alternative to cow's milk for many people with dairy sensitivities. By including goat herds in the certification program, the NonBCM7™ Certified initiative expands options for health-conscious families and individuals seeking to avoid BCM-7 while enjoying the benefits of dairy.

Certified producers are being recorded in the independent registry, along with educational resources about BCM-7, details on the testing process, and guidance on where to find NonBCM7™ Certified products at retailers and online. Also available on the website are regular blogs on topics pertaining to dairy and BCM-7.
