Beatrice Homogenized Milk

Beatrice is a well-established Canadian dairy brand known for providing a wide range of milk and cream products across the country. The product shown is a 4-litre jug of 3.25% homogenized milk, a staple in many Canadian households. The packaging features both English and French text, adhering to Canadian bilingual labeling requirements.

While the brand has a long history in Canada originating from the Beatrice Foods company, it has undergone several ownership changes over the decades. Today, it is a key brand under the portfolio of Lactalis Canada. The milk is sourced and processed within Canada, supporting local dairy farmers through the 'Dairy Farmers of Canada' quality program, often indicated by the blue cow logo on the label.

The ultimate ownership of the brand rests with the Lactalis Group (Groupe Lactalis), a French multinational dairy products corporation. Based in Laval, France, Lactalis is one of the largest dairy products groups in the world, having acquired the Canadian dairy assets of companies like Parmalat to strengthen its North American presence.
