Bega Cheese wins court battle against Fonterra over peanut butter branding

Bega Cheese wins court battle against Fonterra over peanut butter branding

Bega Cheese (BGA) is crowned the winner after a four-year legal battle instigated by Fonterra
Fonterra paid to use the Bega name on a number of products in 2001
In 2017, Bega paid $460 million to put its name on Kraft products such as Vegemite and various peanut butters on Aussie shelves
Fonterra felt this was a breach of the ‘exclusivity’ it paid for to use the Bega name, taking the company to court
The Victorian Supreme Court ruled in Bega’s favour on Wednesday — citing Fonterra only paid to exclusively use cheese products, and not peanut butter
Shares in Bega Cheese opened 3.06 per cent down to $6.01
