WALMART, KROGER BOTTLE THEIR OWN MILK AND SHAKE UP AMERICAN DAIRY INDUSTRY –

Americans’ thirst for cheap milk – and grocers’ rush to provide it – are remaking the centuries-old dairy industry. When supermarket shoppers reach for white gallon jugs these days, most of the time they grab a low-priced store brand. To expand those offerings, major grocery retailers, including Kroger Co., Walmart Inc. and Albertsons Cos., have built their own milk-bottling plants. (Fox6)
