Good share but confusing = are own brand, private label and own label the same thing or different definitions?

Did you find this out brother? I'm assuming 'private label' does indeed mean own brand? I'm trying to find out if Aldi's 'cowbelle' British milk is just rebranded Arla sterilization poison.

Point is centuries ago we all had goays or cows ourselves and dairy wasn't a conglomerate big biz

Our fault for hanging up our pitchforks !! Seek out raw milk farms

I grew up in a village in the hills of Perthshire and we had a dairy on the main street. It was run by the farmer's family and we could go and get real milk with the layer of cream taking up the neck of the bottles.

Then they moved to cartons with the metal clip holding it closed. Once again, it was all done by hand.

If I remember correctly, more and more rules were introduced, making the dairy financially non viable and it closed and the dairy cows must have been sold or sent to the slaughterhouse.

Horror of horrors essentially

We need to club round and locally crowdfund + support a dairy farm, Jersey is my fave 😋🥛

Grahams Dairy cannot take on any new deliveries. This is ridiculous, Bill Gates must be stopped.

Bill Gates did invest in methane-reducing feed technology research, apparently the firm he invested into was 'unassociated' with Bovaer ltd. Two companies within such a niche field must share data with each other... Perhaps the investors/businesses realised every bio-firm Gates invests in becomes toxic to the consumer and decided to release their product through the other company to avoid any controversy.

Methane is potent by itself if the beast is witholding its exhaust gases you know that stuff is going to be contaminating its' milk and fucking up its whole system. the toxins are gonna be escaping from any avenue it can force out, from whatever form that sick beast becomes. I suspect that Bovaer is poison but drinking the milk from the beast which is retaining its waste product is yet another far more complex poison.

So Sainsbury's has changed back to Arla since moving to Muller in February 2024?

https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2023/04/21/sainsburys-ends-supply-arla/

"Sainsbury’s has ended a long-standing deal, which saw dairy company Arla supplying a percentage of the Big 4 grocer’s own-label milk.

The change will instead see Müller as the sole supplier of Sainsbury’s own-brand milk from February 2024."
