Dean Foods

Co. - the largest dairy producer in the United States - is considering investing

further in plant milk, and ending business with a number of its dairy

suppliers.

'Really

cool brand'

The dairy

giant will be deciding whether to increase its investment in flax milk company

Good Karma Foods over the 'next few months', according to company CEO Ralph

Ending

contracts

Simultaneously,

Dean Foods is in the last weeks of business with a number of its usual

dairy suppliers - a decision reportedly made based on decreased demand for

dairy.

The company's

Director Of Corporate Communications Reace Smith said this is largely due to 'a

surplus of raw milk at a time when the public already is consuming less fluid

milk'.

Good Karma

CEO Doug Radi, on the other hand, appears confident in the continued growth of his company, and the plant-based sector.

"We believe Dean Foods' continued interest and partnership in Good Karma Foods validates we are one of

the leading and fastest-growing brands to watch in the plant-based category."
