> the growth hormone rBGH

is prominently labeled as "not used" in any of the milk at my supermarket. Where is all this rBGH milk coming from?

> Regulatory status

The use of rBGH is approved in the United States. However, many grocery store chains don’t carry milk from cows treated with rBGH. A United States Department of Agriculture survey conducted in 2014 found that fewer than 1 in 6 cows (15%) were being injected with rBGH.

The correct answer is zero. It’s the difference between opt out and opt in. I don’t and can’t shop at your supermarket.
