The brands that will fall into the Bega family now include:

• Milk based beverages including Dare, Farmers Union, Big M, Masters, Dairy Farmers, Canberra Milk;

• Yoghurt based brands Yoplait, Farmers Union, Dairy Farmers Thick and Creamy and The Culture Co;

• Juices including Daily Juice, The Juice Brothers, Mildura, Prima and Berri;

We invite you to celebrate this great moment for our business, and what it means for Australians. Thank you for inviting our brands into your homes, and your breakfast table, each day.”
