Following a salmonella outbreak in 1999, the company was awarded A$3 million in damages after they were supplied with infected oranges.[3]
In 2011, the company commenced only using Australian grown oranges in its products for the first time since 2006.[4]
In 2016, the company announced it intended to expand its operations in the Riverland region. The A$$967,000 expansion was made possible with a A$400,000 grant from the Federal government.[5]
The company completed an A$10 million plant in 2017 to produce 500 ml (18 imp fl oz; 17 US fl oz) flavoured milk bottles in addition to the existing range of 375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz) flavoured milk boxes.[6]
In 2021, the company announced they intended to remove voluntary health rating logos from their products after the fruit juice range rating changed from 5 stars to two stars following a review by the Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation.[7]
