Read our new dairy milk guide now 🔗 👉 https://bit.ly/3Z3JJPB
Our main recommendation if you wish to continue to buy dairy milk is to lower your consumption and focus on buying milk produced under higher standards of animal welfare e.g. organic and 'cow with calf' systems. We highlight which brands these are in the guide.
But no milk brand is eligible for our Best Buy label because of the sector's inherent animal welfare and rights issues and the ecological footprint connected to dairy farming.
Find out which dairy milk brands rate more highly than others in our new dairy milk shopping guide.
