Dairy and fruit juice drinks manufacturer Suiza Dairy marked Nutrition Month in March by launching a new variety of products, including a 100 percent lactose-free milk, and teaming up with a Puerto Rican dietitian and chef to create awareness of the importance of taking care of one’s body through healthy eating.
Farmers grouped under the Puerto Rico Farm Bureau’s dairy sector could be forced to dump some 7 million quarts of raw milk at the farm level due to the inaction of the government agencies regulating the industry, which has left them with a surplus in production, trade group leaders said Friday.
The Milk Industry Development Fund unveiled Monday its newest advertising push for the island’s Grade A product, spending $1.2 million to deliver the message that fresh milk is a fun part of being healthy.
