In October, Chobani Inc., New Berlin, N.Y., donated $1.5 million to Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., to promote innovation in dairy and food science. In a press release in October, Chobani stated “the partnership marks an important step in elevating the broader dairy industry and New York State’s role as a Greek Yogurt leader through innovative research and reinforces Chobani’s continued focus on manufacturing and quality.”
“Cornell’s Department of Food Science is one of the leading programs of its kind globally — a match to Chobani’s leading role in Greek yogurt and our mission to bring better food options to everyone, said Chobani President and Chief Operating Officer David Denholm.
