Co-op British Semi-Skimmed Milk

Co-op products reflect the heritage of the British consumer cooperative movement, which dates back to the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers founded in 1844. As a retail brand, Co-op serves as the private label for The Co-operative Group, ensuring that the majority of its fresh produce, including meat and dairy, is sourced directly from British farms.

The manufacturing and sourcing for Co-op brand products are centered within the United Kingdom to support local agriculture and reduce the carbon footprint of its supply chain. This commitment to local sourcing is a cornerstone of the brand's identity, emphasizing transparency and ethical trading standards.

The brand is owned and operated by Co-operative Group Limited, a unique organization that is owned by its millions of individual members rather than private shareholders. Headquartered in Manchester, UK, it remains one of the world's largest consumer cooperatives, reinvesting profits back into the communities it serves and maintaining a focus on social responsibility.
