If you mean the cell count issue, no and are unlikely to. But the
problem is self inflicted to an extent in that the manufacturers
wanted cell count driven down because that improved shelf life, and
for organic produce that should be less of a problem.

Why is it less of a problem for organic?
Sorry to be dense!

they cannot use dry cow antibiotics. Pretty well the sole aim of
these is to cut cell count

I misread
I thought you meant that improved shelf life was not a problem for
organic -
hence my confusion
:)


well improved shelf life is unlikely to be as big an issue, as I cannot
imagine they are producing 'commodity' products which sit around in
warehouses for months.





another interesting article, sewage sludge is now organic, but
whether this is 'organic' as recognised by SA I'm not sure

I will look a little later


It is interesting if it is allowing sewage sludge to be SA organic
