Antibiotics are banned in dairy cows (at least, in the US and EU). They can be used to treat illness, but the milk produced while they are used must be discarded.

Growth hormones are banned in the EU, not in the US, but many US dairy producers advertise the fact that they produce milk without using them.

Sorry, I thought there were antibiotics in US milk.
