Jonathan Dixon, senior vice president of sales at Arla Foods UK said: "Arla and ASDA have had a long partnership of working together to deliver healthy and nutritious dairy products to UK consumers.

Sustainability plays a key role within our strategy with a target to reach net carbon net zero by 2040 so we are excited to work together with Arla farmer owners to reduce carbon impact and raise farm welfare standards."鈥�
