“We are a local company and are proud to offer our Farmers Choice Partly Skimmed Milk with Ocean Nutrition Canada’s MEG-3 ingredient,” said Andrea Hickey, marketing and communications manager with Farmers Dairy.
“We believe our customers will love the taste of the milk, the added heart health benefits of MEG-3 and the fact that this is a 100% locally made product,” Hickley added.
The MEG-3 ingredient technology was researched and developed in Nova Scotia, and Farmers Milk is the first local food product to bring the ingredient to Nova Scotia consumers.
MEG-3 can be found in a number of dairy and bread products, including Danone Canada’s Cardivia yoghurt and Lark Dairies’ Trappist Brand Milk in Hong Kong.
