Every drop of organic milk we use in our teas, hot coffees*, Happy Meal® milk and porridge is sourced from UK and Northern Irish dairy farms.**
<h2>Our milk</h2>
We use UK organic milk except in our milkshakes, frappes, Iced Latte, McFlurry® desserts, and Chocolate, Banana, and Strawberry flavour milk, and in Northern Ireland, Flahavan's Quick Oats and Happy Meal® milk.
Refreshing milk
We know the quality of milk and welfare of dairy cows is important.
In every frothy hot coffee*, satisfying cup of tea, warming porridge and Happy Meal® milk bottle, we only use semi-skimmed organic milk from UK and Northern Irish dairy farms**. It’s our use of organic milk that won us the 2017 Compassion in World Farming Good Cow Commendation.
Our most essential ingredient
We believe that farmers are the most essential ingredient in our products. That’s why in 2019 we invested three quarters of a million pounds to support British dairy farms through a capital grants scheme. The grants enable farmers to further improve animal health and welfare and reduce the carbon footprint of organic milk production. This work, in association with Arla, received a Judges’ Special Award at the Industry Cream Awards in 2019.
Collaborating on the future of dairy
We work closely with our dairy supplier Arla to support 54 organic dairy farmers to share best practice on putting sustainability into practice on farms. Since 2021, we have also sponsored one of the organic dairy farmers to be part of Arla’s Regenerative Farming Pilot Network to accelerate learnings through additional consultancy and technology focused on establishing measurement of regenerative outcomes.
