With nine years at BNP Media, parent company of Dairy Foods, I relish that there’s always something new and exciting to learn about in the multifaceted, $4.5 trillion food and beverage industry.

Ethical sourcing of ingredients by dairy processors is becoming more prominent, widespread, and essential.

There were key efforts and achievements made in 2023 across three key pillars of the company: people, planet, product, the company stated. 

This growth marks a significant milestone in Maple Hill Creamery's commitment to providing high-quality, 100% grass-fed organic dairy products to consumers while supporting sustainable and regenerative farming practices.

During our annual Sustainability Issue, it is a great time to talk about a report released by McKinsey & Co. and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).

Achieving ingredient traceability depends on many factors such as longstanding, sustainable relationships with farmers and suppliers, accurate data collection and record keeping, as well as the type of raw material needed. 

Dairy processor joined the OSC Packaging Collaborative.

Todd Meussling, senior manager of market development for Appleton, Wis.-based Fresh-Lock, joins Dairy Foods for Episode 42 of its “Let’s Talk Dairy” podcast. During this podcast, Meussling discusses sustainability and flexible packaging.

This decision follows the completion of a comprehensive sustainable packaging study initiated in 2022 and will result in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fuel requirements by up to 25%, alongside significant water savings during manufacturing of their 8-oz cheese bar line.

Making its PACK EXPO International debut, Sustainability Central will explore packaging sustainability and what it means to brands.
