“a2 Milk by Anchor is set to give consumers more choice and we’re really pleased to bring another great tasting fresh milk option to Kiwi households. Anchor already has 10 varieties of milk and will continue catering to a variety of diets, ages and stages so that as many people as possible have the option to consume milk products,” said Watson.
“The a2 Milk Company is delighted to be entering into this partnership with Fonterra and pleased to be finally providing our a2 Milk brand to New Zealanders for the first time,” said The a2 Milk Company managing director and CEO Jayne Hrdlicka. “Especially given this is where our company was founded."
