A2A2
A2A2 certification is for dairy producers whose milk contains exclusively the A2 protein, similar to that from ancient cow breeds. It is designed for organisations aiming to meet the demands of conscious consumers for natural, nutritious milk. Control Union provides the independent assessment and certification services required to formally validate products against the A2A2 standard, enabling clear communication of this quality to the market.
Wat is A2A2?
A2A2 milk is positioned as “milk as it is meant to be,” offering a fresh and natural product that is a source of calcium. The certification allows producers to demonstrably meet specific customer requirements by providing a distinct choice for consumers. To qualify, milk must originate from cows that are 100% tested for the A2A2 gene and are given natural feed. The milk’s taste and appearance remain identical to conventional milk, requiring no different processing methods.
