U.S. firms suffering GI distress as Brits restrict use of 'Greek yogurt'
A UK court rules in favor of Fage to the detriment of Chobani.
The Washington, D.C.-based Consortium for Common Food Names (CCFN), is denouncing a court ruling in the United Kingdom that declared only yogurt made in Greece could be labeled as "Greek yogurt." The ruling was issued in response to a court case brought against Chobani, based in New York state.
The Associated Press reported that rival Fage (a Greek company with offices in the United States) brought the court case. AP noted that Fage is the dominant seller of Greek yogurt in Britain with its "Total" brand.
