DairyNZ has dropped plans to appeal against an Advertising Standards Authority ruling.

The industry-good body says an appeal would only have increased talk about Greenpeace’s ad and its message. Greenpeace says it is pleased there will be no appeal.

The authority dismissed the complaints last month.
