Milk stoush over

Written by 

A David and Goliath battle has ended with David’s victory! A dispute between Fonterra and Lewis Road Creamery over labelling on Kapiti milk bottles is over.

Fonterra last week confirmed it is updating its Kapiti milk range with “distinctive new packaging”, due to hit stores from June. Lewis Road Creamery posted a statement to their Facebook page indicating their pleasure. “Hats off to the Fonterra team who will be rolling out distinctive new packaging on their Kapiti milk range from June,” the post read. “This change has enabled us to resolve our packaging dispute with them. We are delighted to have sorted things out, and want to thank each and every one of you for your unwavering support.” The agreement between the parties is confidential, Fonterra says.
