Real milk to the rescue

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: It's a case of a dairy company coming to the rescue of a failed plant-based dairy player.

Creditors of plant-based dairy company Little Island Creamery haved lost more than $2 million. The company was placed into liquidation last year.

In their final report, liquidators said there were no remaining funds to distribute to creditors, and the company was set to be removed from the Companies Register.

However, Little Island products are still available after a dairy company, Appleby Farm, Nelson bought the business and changed its name to LI Creamery.

Appleby Farms is a maker of premium ice cream products, made from cow's milk, of course.
