Chobani yogurt now made with Australian milk
In November 2011, Australian Food News reported on Chobani’s acquisition of Australia’s Bead Foods. News of the leading U.S. yogurt brand’s decision to launch its flavoured Greek yogurt range in Woolworths’ stores throughout New South Wales prompted an Australian consumer reaction of concern for a shift away from the production of Australian dairy.
Chobani Australia Managing Director Peter Meek has recently revealed the company decided to manufacture its yogurt locally and to use local produce from Australian dairy farmers.
After a test market in November 2011, the Chobani range was released in Woolworths supermarkets in New South Wales and Victoria. The Australian-produced range will be available nationally by the end of September 2012 when building of the Chobani plant is complete.
Turnover for Chobani Australia was A$65 million last year. Mr Meek predicts that, with the plant expansion, Chobani will have the capacity to more than double that figure.
Once the range has been released nationally in Australia, Chobani will consider other export markets such as South East Asia, where the Australian dairy products are expected to be well received.

The USA is buying our companies and sending the profits back there – that is how the USA will get out of recession and our farmers will again be price takers not price makers, We query why are dairy product like Chioba would promote 0% fat – does this meet Australian standards for labelling laws.
It might be Australian milk but for how long and at what price to our farmers. I saw some Chioba imported from the USA – half way round the world. The USA supports its farmers we leave ours for dead signing Free Trade Agreements which are never Fair to us. Foreign owned companies pay less tax than Australian ownd companies and laugh all the way to our banks.
I love this yogurt. Was eating Ski and Yoplait, but poor quality when compared to Chobani. Yoplait taste like crap near the use by code and it seems to have gotten worse over the years. Even had one blown in my fridge and it had 3 week to go.
