Dairy UK, The Dairy Council and the Great British Public raise a glass to dairy on World Milk Day (Wednesday 1st June 2016)

Milk lovers across the world will be celebrating the white stuff for World Milk Day on Wednesday 1st June 2016 and Great Britain, where milk appears in 98% of fridges across the country, is one of the leading nations when it comes to milk consumption.
Speaking ahead of her speech on the benefits of dairy at the International Dairy Federation’s celebration of World Milk Day in Seoul, South Korea, Dr Judith Bryans, Chief Executive of Dairy UK, said: “As the world celebrates this World Milk Day, let’s remember that milk is a product to be greatly proud of. Demand for dairy is growing across the globe and we have a key role to play to help feed a growing world population with safe, nutritious and affordable foods.
Dr Bryans added: “Dairy makes a difference to millions of people every day, everywhere. As we pour milk on our cereal or add it to tea or coffee, we should remember that milk gives us so many of the nutrients that our bodies need. It’s tasty, versatile and healthy – and it also plays an important nutritional role at all stages of life. Our industry is a vibrant and dynamic community which provides millions of livelihoods across the world. On World Milk Day, more than 30 countries will celebrate what milk has to offer and the dedication of all of those who put milk on our tables, from farmers to processors, manufacturers and milkmen. Let’s join them, raise a glass and spread the word!”
To celebrate milk’s long-standing role in global diets and nutrition, The Dairy Council reacquainted the public with some of the facts about milk. Members of the public starred in a milk quiz<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H75bsNtnB2E>, which features on Youtube and The Dairy Council social media, where the nutrient richness of milk and some fun facts and ideas about milk emerged.
Dr Anne Mullen, Director of Nutrition at The Dairy Council, said: “People across the world, from all backgrounds and all countries, consume milk every day and therefore we decided that World Milk Day was the perfect time to have a bit of fun and ask consumers how much they really know about the milk in their fridge. What became clear is that, whilst many of us recognise that milk is a healthy and nutritious, there are actually so many nutrients and minerals contained in one portion of milk that it is almost impossible to remember them all! We are delighted that the public is so supportive of dairy. Milk is one of the most nutritious, and delicious, foods in the British diet and it plays a crucial role in leading a healthy diet at all stages of life.”

The Dairy Council will celebrate World Milk Day by promoting the video on social media and through press release.
Dairy UK will encourage all to raise a glass to dairy and tweet their best pictures using the hashtag #DairyMakesADifference

Just a reminder to everyone that World Milk Day is on 1st June … it’s not too late to plan a celebration, if you haven’t already done so.

=========================================================================
Dear Members,

As we move into the year, I would like to remind everyone to mark World Milk Day (1 June)<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/15th-world-milk-day/en/> and World School Milk Day (28 September)<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/en/> in their diaries.

Remember, it’s up to you to decide what type of celebration you wish to hold – this could be anything from a Press Release to a national event.

In order to get some inspiration, details of previous years’ events are contained at:

Report on 15th World Milk Day 2015<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/est/COMM_MARKETS_MONITORING/Dairy/Documents/World_Milk_Day_2015.pdf>

Report on 16th World School Milk Day 2015<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/est/COMM_MARKETS_MONITORING/Dairy/Documents/School_Milk_Day_2015.pdf>

As you will see, these Days have been around for over fifteen years – so children who participated in the first school milk days would now be young adults.  Therefore, new ideas to bring spontaneity and excitement are always welcome.

Also, once you have planned a celebration, we would be very happy to hear about it, so that we can publicise it via the e-network and provide inspiration to others.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Michael
