The unsecured fixed rate bonds mature in 2016.
The company plans to use the funds to partially repay a EUR300m medium-term note that matures in April, as well as use it for general corporate operations.
At the end of last month, Fonterra had indicated that it would raise up to $250m through the bond sale, however the group said that it has scaled back that amount after securing funding elsewhere.
