A family-run dairy business has reached a significant milestone this week: Müller UK & Ireland donated the equivalent of four million meals through its partnership with FareShare, an ongoing effort to support low-income people across the UK by transforming surplus food into vital meals.

FareShare is the UK’s largest food redistribution charity, handing out good-to-eat surplus food and donations from the food industry to a network of over 8,500 charities and community groups.

From hospices to food pantries to homelessness shelters, Müller’s consistent donations of quality dairy products, like milk and yogurts, are helping ensure that no good food goes to waste.

Müller’s relationship with FareShare forms a key part of the company’s Sustainability Action Plan, calculating that their donations reduce environmental impact but also support wellbeing.

“Our purpose goes beyond simply making dairy products: we’re here to play our part in supporting the people and communities who need it most,” said Victoria Bryant of Müller UK & Ireland. “Working with FareShare has enabled us to make a direct impact by providing nutritious dairy products to those who might otherwise go without it.”

“Müller’s ongoing support has helped us deliver millions of meals to people facing hardship (and) their contributions continue to make a real difference in lives across the country,” said Kris Gibbon-Walsh, CEO of FareShare.

The most popular dairy brand in Great Britain, Müller exports to 60 countries and employs over 32,000 workers throughout Europe, creating products with milk from over 1,000 farmers in Britain.

FareShare.org collects food donations every day and sorts them at regional warehouses across the UK.

To give you an idea of their reach, three years ago FareShare redistributed the equivalent of 128 million meals—that’s 4 meals every second.  Diverting 55,000 tons of food from landfills resulted in 95,000 tons of CO2 emissions being stopped.
