The comments came in response to what the company called “rumours and financial analyst speculation” that Saputo was interested in purchasing Land O’Lakes dairy products assets.
“While we normally do not respond to rumours and speculation,” Land O’Lakes vice president of public affairs Don Berg said, “As a cooperative organisation, we do feel a unique responsibility to respond to our member- owners, and this particular rumour did result in a considerable number of questions.”
