The Brand That's Likely Behind Aldi's Friendly Farms Milk
By Stacie Adams
Aldi's private label typically offers the same quality goods as name brands at a much lower price, and many wonder who manufactures their Friendly Farms milk and dairy products.
The Vermont-based company Ehrmann Commonwealth Dairy is believed to be behind Friendly Farms products, like their whole milk, half and half, whipping cream, and plant-based "milk."
In 2018, the FDA shared an announcement from Commonwealth Dairy alerting consumers to a possible allergen issue affecting one of its products.
As stated in the announcement, the brand name of the product was listed as Friendly Farms, while Commonwealth Dairy was listed as the company name.
Additionally, the announcement stated these products were sold in Aldi locations throughout the country, including Pennsylvania, California, Iowa, and several other states.
While the purpose of this announcement was to preserve the health of the public and prevent issues from occurring, it inadvertently revealed the company behind Friendly Farms.
