Dean Foods, the biggest milk company in the US, filed for bankruptcy protection, a fresh setback to a U.S. dairy industry struggling against declining U.S. milk consumption and rising competition.
Dean Foods also owns Meadow Gold, which produces milk and other products at its downtown Boise plant.
Meanwhile, you will still find milk and cheese at the supermarket from Meadow Gold, as dairy customers are expected to receive their dairy products without any interruptions.
