Fairlife LLC, the dairy company owned by The Coca-Cola Co and Select Milk Producers, downplayed the significance of milk adverts that have prompted criticism on social media over their “sexist” content.

A spokesperson for Fairlife told just-food that the marketing material referenced was an “outdated campaign” that ran in a “test market”. The campaign stopped in June this year, the spokesperson added.
The group’s premium Fairlife Ultra-filtered milk brand, which will be distributed by Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid division, is currently only available in three markets: Minneapolis, Denver and Chicago.
“The product itself will not be nationally distributed until next year with a new ad campaign,” the spokesperson stressed.
