Fonterra provides
fillip for flood relief
Matata’s Mayoral Flood Relief Fund
will get a $1,500 boost, thanks to Fonterra Edgecumbe’s
award-winning cream plant.
The plant took out the quality
award for cream products at the recent New Zealand Institute
of Food Science & Technology (NZIFST) Awards. The award is
one of six annual awards presented by the Institute’s Dairy
Division to recognise excellence in a range of dairy
products, and comes with a $2,000 cash prize.
Cream Plant
Manager Antony Moess said the plant operators wanted to take
the chance to give some support to friends and relatives
affected by the May floods that devastated the nearby town
of Matata. The balance of the prize-money would be donated
to the Child Cancer Foundation.
Whakatane District Council
Mayor Colin Holmes said the cream plant staff deserved
congratulations, both for winning the award and for their
community
spirit.
