Grass-Fed Dairy

What is the Grass-Fed Dairy Claim?

Our certified grass-fed claim and icon can inform your consumers that the dairy in your product comes from New Zealand cows that graze on grass, as nature intended.
 

Natural food source - Grass is a natural food source for cows and our New Zealand environment is ideal for growing grass

Grass-Fed Cows - Our cows consume 96% of their diet as grass*

More time on Pasture – Our cows spend over 350 days of a year on pasture, which is more than anywhere else in the world*

Third-Party Certified – Our New Zealand milk is certified against ​our Fonterra Grass and Pasture-Fed Standard annually by AsureQuality, an independent Conformity​ Assessment Body (CAB) accredited by JAS-ANZ.​
