Sri Lankans protest New Zealand dairy giant

COLOMBO: A Sri Lankan government-allied group has protested opposite the local office of New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra, demanding it respect a court order and withdraw its purportedly contaminated milk products from the market.
Thursday's protest by about 200 people from the Lakmawa Diyaniyo (Daughters of Lanka) came a day after a court issued a summons to Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka and four of its top officials to face contempt of court charges for allegedly not adhering to an order banning sales and advertising of all Fonterra milk products.
Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka said Wednesday that it "believes it has complied with all aspects" of the order.
Earlier this month, Sri Lanka's Health Ministry said two batches of Fonterra milk products showed traces of an agricultural chemical and ordered a recall.
