A1 to A2 Milk

Last year I wrote a letter saying Fonterra needs to act quickly to change their milk supply from A1 to A2 milk protein. Because of A1 milk's potential health effects in humans. Instead they have berried their heads in the sand. By becoming skeptical stopping all research, preferring to go into management control.. The longer they ignore this reality they are acting irresponsibly to their shareholders and consumers, the longer they delay they are putting the whole industry in jeopardy. Instead of management control they will be damage control. They can't say they have not been warned.

Fonterra A2 Milk

A2 Milk.

Fonterra needs to act quickly to change their milk supply to A2 milk, the longer they delay the longer they are doing an in injustice to their suppliers the farmers and the consumer. There is more and more evidence that A1 milk has a protein cell that can break in two entering the blood stream that can course many health effects in some humans. A1 milk and by-products of A1 milk is the main milk supplied by Fonterra. The farmers need to know Fonterra is acting responsibly in their interests for future milk exports and supply. Knowing their milk has this A1 protein cell problem. Fonterra should now be advising and helping their suppliers the farmers to change over to suppling A2 milk that does not have this protein cell break down problem. It will take two herd generations to change over to A2 milk for the average farm herd, around ten years. Fonterra will be putting the whole industry in jeopardy the longer they delay. For customers who are concerned most supermarket milk is A1, A2 milk is always labeled A2. Other than the two protien cell differences, everything else is the same., types taste look etc.
