Milk producers warn against UHT imports

QUESTIONS HAVE been raised about the quality of imported long-life milk following a recent investigation by the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO). MPO MD Etienne Terre’Blanche said that according to information on the labels of some of the imports, the milk did not meet South African requirements. “The butterfat and protein percentages are lower than our legal requirements,” Terre’Blanche said, urging consumers to buy locally-manufactured products.
