COLOMBO (Reuters) – A Sri Lankan court on Friday issued an order preventing the sale, distribution and advertising of all Fonterra milk products for two weeks, a lawyer who appeared on behalf of the petitioner said.




“An enjoining order was issued preventing Fonterra … from whole selling, selling and distributing and or selling for agents of all brands of Fonterra products for a period of two weeks,” Upul Jayasuriya, who appeared on behalf of National Health Services (Trade) Union, told Reuters.
