The decision by Coles to remove a popular brand of Australian milk from many of its stores has been called out by its supporters.
They claim that the supermarket giant is discriminating against the brand’s loyal customers by only stocking Jersey milk in 16 of its outlets.
The dairy company behind the brand claims that it is proud to be Australian-owned and has been acknowledged as the best in the state for its milk.
In the past, Coles had stocked Gippsland Jersey milk in about 200 of its stores in Victoria.
However, this brand has since been removed from the company’s shelves in most of its outlets.
A spokesperson for the company claimed that it was committed to selling the product in Victorian stores.
According to Steve Ronalds, who is the co-founder of the Gippsland Jersey dairy company, it is very unsettling to see how big companies can control the food that Australians consume.
He spoke with 7NEWS.com.AU about the company’s recent struggles with the supermarket giant.
He claims that the company’s dealings with Coles have not been easy, and they have not taken on board the company’s suggestions.
Initially, the company was planning on opening up to 40 stores in the region.
Before the company even started, it was revealed that the company would be opening 200 stores.
However, after several months, the company was told that its products would not be able to work in all of the company’s outlets.
We told them so, and then they told us that we would only be in 16 stores, which is regarded as the best in the area.
Steve claims that the company was set up to fail before it even started due to its faulty systems.
He claims that the company is still working on improving its operations and is committed to being honest with its customers.
According to Steve, the company’s competitor, Coles, only stocks its shelves once a day.
The process, he claims, involves allocating eight spaces on each shelf. He also noted that the company’s customers often tell them that their milk has sold out in various locations.
