We’ve always been Aussie made but now we’re owned by Bega Cheese Limited – making us Aussie owned too! Bega Cheese completed its acquisition of the Lion Dairy & Drinks business from the previous owners in January of 2021, marking the return of Pura to Australian ownership.

Pura are committed to quality and food safety and have quality and food safety programs in place that comply with relevant legislation, which includes feed, on farm chemical and veterinary treatment controls to ensure the highest quality milk is delivered to our factories to make our great Australian dairy products.

The ARL logos on the containers are a guide on the best way to recycle/dispose of the packaging. For more information there is a website to the right of the logos. Before doing anything, it is always best to check with your local council.

The recommended dairy intake varies depending on your age and gender, however, the Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend children and adults consume around three serves of dairy or alternatives each day, including milk, yoghurt and cheese, or calcium enriched alternatives such as soy, rice or oat milk. The recommended serves per day of milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives ranges, from 1½-2 serves a day for children up to 8 years old to 2½-3½ serves a day for older children and adolescents; 2½ serves a day for younger adults, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and from 3½-4 serves a day for older adults, particularly women².

A serve of dairy provides the goodness of calcium, protein and energy, dairy’s nutrients are particularly important for older adults, yet research suggests this group currently consumes just one in four recommended daily serves³.
