In addition to acquiring Leprino Foods’ plant in Remus, Michigan, MMPA is expanding ultrafiltered milk production capabilities at its facility in Ovid, Michigan.
Horizon says the acquisition expands its portfolio, strengthens its presence across retail channels and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable products.
The final rule will amend regulations to provide for the use of fluid ultrafiltered (UF) and microfiltered (MF) milk and nonfat milk in the manufacture of standardized cheeses and related cheese products.
The new institute serves as Lactalis’ North American culinary and sensory channel operations and aims to foster innovation, enhance customer and consumer experiences with the company’s dairy products, and test product quality.
Shamrock Farms is investing $59 million into the project, which includes adding additional equipment, cold storage space and a new production filling line.
The facility will serve as the hub for Flora Food Group’s creams and cream cheeses products for the U.S., Canada and across the rest of the Americas region over time.
