Argentina's SENASA has banned recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) nationwide, a growth hormone used to increase milk production in cattle. Companies have 30 days to reformulate products containing the substance, with marketing certificates to be revoked thereafter. This regulatory action will impact dairy producers and may affect milk supply dynamics in the Argentine market.
