Fonterra faces protest
, August 22, 2013
Sri Lankan demonstrators shout slogans during a protest against Fonterra products in front of the main factory in Biyagama, about 21 km from capital Colombo, on August 22. Demonstrators demanded that all Fonterra products in Sri Lanka be banned. A Sri Lankan court on Wednesday issued a summons to Fonterra Brands Lanka, the local company of New Zealand's Fonterra, and four of its top officials to face contempt of court charges for not adhering to an earlier ruling that banned sales and advertising of all Fonterra milk products. Fonterra strongly refuted the claim and said it believed it had complied with all aspects of the enjoining order. Reuters/Dinuka Liyanawatte
