4Life's Transfer Factor product safety statement:

4Life shares the concerns of many with regard to the recent announcement of the first incidence of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE or Mad Cow Disease) reported in the United States. Naturally questions have arisen as result of this announcement about the procedures 4Life follows to ensure the safety of its Transfer Factor products. Our primary focus is your health and safety and you can rest assured that 4Life adheres to a strict set of guidelines intended to ensure the quality of the products we offer.

All 4Life Transfer Factor products are obtained from licensed Grade A dairies that are registered with and monitored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These modern, state-of-the-art facilities follow stringent Good Manufacturing Practices and are part of an elite group who have been registered to export milk products into the European Union (EU) following the strict regulation changes that were put into effect after January 1, 2001. A press release by the Health and Consumer Protection Directorate-General of the EU said, “The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) sees no evidence for the transmission of BSE through milk (emphasis and italics added). Hence, there is no reason for restriction on the use of milk stated the 16 independent scientists.”

Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated, "The scientific data indicated that milk from BSE cows does not transmit BSE. National and international public health organizations have consistently stated that milk and milk products are safe regardless of whether the country producing them has had cases of BSE."

Dr. William Hennen, Chief Scientific Officer of 4Life Research states, “We take great care to provide products that are safe and beneficial to our friends, customers and families. BSE (mad cow disease) has been known for more than ten years and we have evaluated all potential risk factors thoroughly. There is no scientific evidence that milk or colostrum pose any risk for BSE transmission. Nor were there any cases of BSE transmission between infected cows and their suckler calves. The most recent data continues to confirm that milk and colostrum are safe and free of BSE.”

You can feel confident that 4Life will continue to monitor this situation closely and to communicate any additional information on a timely basis
