According to records only just released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, Organic Certifiers visited Lone Star Organic Dairy on December 6, 2023—weeks after PETA submitted evidence and apparently after notifying farm management that they would be conducting an inspection. Upon arrival, inspectors found a hired company attempting to remove mounds of manure piled over 4 feet high from inside cow pens.

Officials confirmed that a 14-foot-deep pit of liquid waste—which the whistleblower reported multiple cows had fallen into—had previously been left unenclosed and fully accessible to animals.

Horizon Organic—the largest organic milk company in the country—suspended sourcing from Lone Star Organic Dairy following PETA’s exposé.
