If the prof says if safe i guess it is -
Prof Oliver Jones, Professor of Chemistry, RMIT University, said:
“Bovaer is a relatively simple chemical that is broken down in part of cows’ stomachs, where it also inhibits a specific enzyme that produces methane. Because it is broken down quickly, it is not absorbed whole and is not present in milk; it indirectly increases the fat content because substances that would have been converted to methanol are instead converted to fats.
“Worries over new technologies are nothing new. However, the use of food additives is quite strictly controlled in the UK and Europe. You can’t just add anything to the food chain without safety testing (although it appears you can claim what you like on social media). Despite extensive testing in multiple countries; there is no evidence that Bovaer causes cancer (as it does not damage DNA) or that it is dangerous to consume milk or other products from cows treated with it. Neither does Bovaer prevent other methods of reducing methane emissions from cattle, such as selective breeding.

Sadly, experts and scientific understanding doesn't matter to conspiracy theorists who get all their "facts" from what are essentially "professional trolls" - ie, people who get financial gain from spreading misinformation: like getting advertising revenue from Facebook/Instagram/influencing, or by selling the Daily Mail.
