Mr. Cormac Cunningham:

It is stated on the NDC website that it wishes to reassure consumers about the origin and traceability of milk. I contacted the NDC and informed them we would like to do the same and requested that it audit us to provide our customers with the same reassurance. I was told that because Strathroy Diary Limited is not a member, the NDC could not audit it. We have since applied for membership and are told the application is being considered. I understand it has been forwarded to a membership committee. The NDC has stated that Strathroy Dairy Limited would never be able to utilise the trademark because its milk, irrespective of from where it is purchased, is processed in its plant in Omagh.
