Coles HiLo Milk

Coles HiLo Milk is a private-label dairy product offered by Coles Supermarkets, one of Australia’s largest retail chains. The product is specifically marketed as being sourced from Western Australian farmers, emphasizing local production and support for the domestic dairy industry. As a low-fat alternative to standard whole milk, it is labeled as 98% fat-free and carries a 5-star health rating.

The Coles brand was established in 1914 in Melbourne by George Coles and has since evolved into a national retail giant. For many years, the brand was part of the Wesfarmers conglomerate, but it was spun off into an independent publicly traded company, Coles Group Limited, in 2018. The ownership remains firmly Australian, and the milk production is handled through long-term contracts with regional Australian dairy processors and farming cooperatives to ensure supply chain stability and quality.
