Abstract: La BST es un producto, sano, seguro y eficaz para aumentar la producción de leche en ganado vacuno, y exento de riesgo para la vaca y el consumidor. Excepto EE.UU., ningún otro país productor de importancia ha autorizado el uso de la rBST. La prohibición en el ámbito de la UE-15 ha sido necesario compatibilizarla con la importación de productos lácteos de terceros países (como EE.UU.) elaborados a partir de leche de vacas tratadas, vista su inocuidad para el consumidor. El recelo del consumidor europeo sólo será superado por una limpia clarificación informativa consecuente con la ratificación de la total inocuidad de la BST.....BST is healthy, safe and efficient product to increase milk production in cattle, and free of any risks for both consumers and cows. Except for USA, its use has not been allowed in any other producer countries. It has been necessary to make compatible the prohibition in UE- 15 territory with the import of dairy products, manufactured from the milk of treated cows, once its has been proved it is harmless to consumers. European consumers might be afraid and this will only be overcome after and informative clarification consistent with the ratification of the complete lack of risk of BST.
