Bovaer is made using silicon dioxide, propylene glycol & 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP). Food Standards Agency found 3-NOP “corrosive to eyes, a skin irritant & potentially harmful by inhalation” to humans.

WTAF are they doing to our meat & dairy food chain?

There is a non-zero probability that the Food Standards Agency were pressured and financially incentivised to categorise 3-NOP as safe due to Big Food & Big Pharma corporate interests.

3-NOP's potential carcinogenity, genotoxicity and wider environmental impact sections in this report don't seem particularly rigorous yet all were passed as safe.

Also, the safety label on Bovaer *literally* says that it can cause 'male infertility'.

The entire assessment can be written-off as a total farce after the first paragraph, wherein they admit to a concentration variance of between 10% and 100%. (Spoiler alert: they get it certified at 10% and then increase the concentration after it's approved. This is a standard Bill Gates playbook trick).

"An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency in April 2021 from DSM Nutritional Products Ltd., UK (“the applicant”) for the authorisation of an additive (Bovaer® 10) containing a minimum 10% 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP), under the category of ‘zootechnical’ additives."
