Institute asks for federal investigation

The Cornucopia Institute has filed a formal legal complaint with the USDA requesting a full investigation into allegations of multiple violations of federal organic regulations at Colorado-based Aurora Organic Dairy, the nation’s largest organic dairy. The institute claims that the 6,000 cow dairy has violated numerous organic regulations governing the rearing of animals entering its vast factory farm operation.

Aurora processes private label milk for grocery chains, including Safeway, Wild Oats, Target and Costco, and supplies milk to Horizon Organic, the nation's largest organic label.
