Plant-based bubble bursts
OPINION: Talking about plant-based food: “Chicken-free chicken” start-up Sunfed has had its valuation slashed to zero by major investor Blackbird Ventures, and its products are no longer available in supermarkets.
Saputo Dairy Australia says, from July, the dairy products will be known as Cheer Cheese.
The change follows a 'careful and diligent' review to ensure the brand is "aligning with current attitudes and perspectives", the Canadian-owned company says.
It was originally named 'Coon' after American cheese pioneer Edward William Coon, who died in 1934, ABC reports. The brand name is also a racial slur for people with dark skin.
Saputo says the new name was chosen because it relects happiness.
