Making Conscious Choices About Specialty Foods
In our interactions with customers, we experience that people engage with their nutrition for different reasons—sometimes also during physically demanding phases of life. Such personal motives are not scientific evidence of health effects. DON DONKEY’S® understands donkey milk as a specialty food, not as a medicine or medical nutritional supplement.
For raw milk, official recommendations for safe heating are particularly important. People at risk require special caution. Please follow the product specifications and seek professional advice for medical conditions.
