The charges filed under the Fair Trading Act arise from Milkio Food Ltd’s use of the FernMark fern logo and licence number (FernMark Logo) in circumstances where FernMark had not licensed the use of the logo on the products in question (Buffalo ghee), or had done so on the basis of untrue information being supplied by Milkio (cow ghee).
The Commerce Commission says Milkio has pleaded guilty to 15 charges and will be sentenced this month.
