Bega Cheese announced it will be honouring milk supply agreements for 19 Western Australian dairy farmers suppliers, now in the fold following the $534m takeover of Lion Dairy & Drinks. Bega Cheese executive chairman Barry Irvin said the company would continue discussions with its suppliers in coming months but couldn’t say whether or not changes to the product range produced at Bega’s Bentley factory in WA are coming.

The factory produces Masters brand white milk, iced coffee and flavoured milk drinks as well as Dare and Farmers Union brand ice coffee and Pura cream.
