I just checked out my jug of milk and there is no reference to either type A1 or A2 on it.  
How does one know which type they are getting?

The labeling and availability of A1 and A2 milk refers to Australia and New Zealand. I don't 
know which country you live in, but if I were you I'd do two things:

(1) Check the labels on all the milk available at a range of supermarkets and health food 
stores (you might even be lucky enough to find unpasturized milk!)

(2) If you have no luck there, order the book, learn more about it and then become an 
activist - seeking out sources, demanding labeling, recommending the book to others.

The book is available here:

I should let you know that - naturally given the massive vested interests involved and 
regardless of the truth - there is much controversy around the A1 and A2 milk idea. See

I can't and don't vouch for its accuracy or legitimacy, but I was impressed by the author's 
evolutionary explanation, which fits all the facts as I know them. It also provides a possible 
explanation of the evidence Loren Cordain found in his recent excoriation of milk and milk 
products.
