Pizza chain to spread only local cheese

Written by 

DOMINO’S PIZZA of Canada is now using only cheese made from 100% Canadian milk on all its offerings.

 

The Ontario company, which owns 380 stores in the country, announced a partnership with Dairy Farmers of Canada. Domino’s is the first national pizza company in Canada to have made this commitment. It buys 4.8m kg of cheese each year.

“We are proud that Domino’s has made this commitment to our Canadian dairy farmers,” says Wally Smith, president of Dairy Farmers of Canada. 

“Canada has some of the greatest cheeses in the world, and with good reason, since its main ingredient, Canadian milk, is renowned for its high quality, purity and great taste.”

Domino’s decision to use cheese made only from 100% Canadian milk is a natural one, says Michael Curran, president of Domino’s Pizza of Canada. 

“Domino’s is a strong believer in fresh, high quality and local products and is a proud supporter of Canadian dairy farmers.”

Canadians will now see the 100% Canadian milk symbol on all Domino’s menus, pizza boxes and online.
