Ebro is mulling approaches from a number of suitors and French dairy group Lactalis has held discussions with the Spanish company.
However, a spokesman for FrieslandCampina said the company had a “policy” of not commenting on “rumours”.

Ebro was equally reticent about its latest thoughts on its dairy business.
