US remains important market - Fonterra
Fonterra says the US continues to be an important market for New Zealand dairy and the co-op.
OPINION: Fonterra isn't backing down in its fight with Greenpeace over the labelling of its iconic Anchor Butter.
Greenpeace claims that new legal documents from Fonterra Brands reveal that the dairy giant has removed labels from its Anchor butter packaging which the environment lobby says falsely claimed that Fonterra dairy cows are '100% New Zealand grass-fed'.
However, the co-op has hit back. Fonterra says it stands behind its claim in relation to Anchor butter as "grass-fed" because its suppliers' cows' diet is predominantly grass and pasture, which includes grass, grass silage, hay and forage crops.
Fonterra will continue to strongly defend the claims brought against it, and will not be commenting further while this matter is before the courts.
