News from dairy processors, associations and suppliers
Yoplait, a yogurt brand of Minneapolis-based General Mills, said it donated a new $75,000, 53-foot refrigerated trailer truck to help address the insufficient refrigeration infrastructure at Feeding America’s Cadillac, Mich., branch. The donation will enable the food bank to safely deliver cold-food products across the Northwest region of its 40-county service area and make dairy more accessible to those in need.
The truck was used for a large-scale food distribution event, sponsored by Yoplait, on March 15. It was loaded with 10,000 pounds of food and served 150 families, Yoplait said.
