What Does "NonBCM7™ Certified" Mean?

In an age where consumers are more conscious than ever about what they eat, clarity and transparency in food labeling have become essential. That’s where NonBCM7 Certified comes in — a new classification in the dairy industry focused on better digestive health and informed consumer choice.

What Does "NonBCM7 Certified" Mean?

NonBCM7 Certified is a certification mark that identifies dairy products sourced from animals that do not produce or produce only trace amounts of A1 beta-casein — the protein associated with the creation of beta-casomorphin-7 (BCM-7) during digestion.

BCM-7 is a peptide released when A1 beta-casein, a protein found in some cow’s milk, is broken down. Some research suggests that BCM-7 may contribute to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and potentially even more serious health concerns in sensitive individuals. Although the science continues to evolve, many consumers are choosing to avoid A1 milk — seeking products that are A2-only or free from the BCM-7 risk altogether.

Why It’s Relevant

Much like trusted food labels such as:

• Non-GMO Project Verified

• Gluten-Free Certified

• Certified Vegan

• Keto Certified

…the NonBCM7 Certified label gives consumers an easy way to identify dairy products that align with their health needs and dietary preferences.

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate, advocate, and empower consumers by:

• Raising awareness about BCM-7 and its potential health implications

• Establishing a trustworthy, recognizable certification label for dairy products

• Partnering with producers and dairies to validate and promote compliant products

Whether it's milk, yogurt, butter, cheese, or ice cream, our goal is to ensure consumers can make confident choices across all dairy categories.

Expanding Beyond Cow’s Milk

While much of the attention around A1 and A2 casein has focused on cow's milk, we believe all dairy should be scrutinized. That’s why NonBCM7 Certification expands into:

• Goat milk and products

• Sheep milk and other ruminant sources

• Non-traditional dairy-based goods

Any dairy product can be evaluated and certified if it meets our rigorous standards for NonBCM7 compliance.

Working With Producers

We are actively building partnerships with forward-thinking dairies, creameries, and processors who want to differentiate themselves in a crowded market. The NonBCM7 Certified label not only benefits consumers but also adds value and credibility to your brand.
