Fonterra and United Kingdom-based dairy co-operative First Milk have announced a joint venture to produce whey proteins for Fonterra’s growing food ingredients business in Europe. The move to the new location is part of Fonterra’s strategic decision to focus on building its value-added and specialty ingredients portfolio in Europe.Previously the European arm of the New Zealand dairy had focused on imported cheese and butter. New Zealand’s Milfos will supply its iConverter technology which ‘snap’ chills milk from 34°C to 4°C for bulk storage. This underpins milk hygiene by lowering the bacteria count.
