Dive Summary:
- Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) has been kept in the dark about the recent and sudden indefinite postponement of the scheduled ground-breaking for the Canadian Chobani plant.
- Chobani had contacted the organization in 2012 and had acquired their services to supply all the milk to the forthcoming plant, only to leave them high and dry nary a week before construction was meant to begin.
- Chobani has remained rather tight-lipped about the whole ordeal, citing 'external circumstances' as the cause of the delay.
From the article:
“In November 2012, we were invited to a ground breaking ceremony that was canceled,” said Lloyd.
“When canceled, we made inquiries and learned that they were not prepared to proceed with a 2013 national launch, but, as at December 2012, were still planning to proceed with Ontario construction.”
