Our Opinion
Dean Foods Company is on the Cruelty Free Investing list for exploiting animals because the company sells products made from dairy products.
Supporting Evidence:
The company claims, “Raw, unprocessed milk is our largest purchase, totaling more than $5 billion per year. We source this raw milk in two ways – directly from hundreds of independent farms through our Dairy Direct program, and from multiple dairy cooperatives representing thousands of dairy farmers.”
