Sri Lankan court summons Fonterra officials to face contempt charge

COLOMBO, Aug 22:  A Sri Lankan court yesterday  issued a summons to Fonterra Brands Lanka, the local company of New Zealand’s Fonterra and four of its top officials to face contempt of court charges for not adhering to an earlier ruling that banned sales and advertising of all Fonterra milk products. The district court in Gampaha earlier had banned the sale and advertising of all Fonterra milk products for two weeks, following a complaint by a health sector trade union that the company’s marketing was misleading.
