Fonterra has announced the expansion of its foodservice offerings in China with the introduction of a new mid-tier UHT [ultra-high-temperature-treated] cream tailored for bakeries.  

Anchor Easy Bakery cream was unveiled at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, which took place from 5 to 10 November 2024.  

For Fonterra, the foodservice channel is a high-value sector, integral to the cooperative’s strategy and featuring products such as UHT cream, cream cheese and mozzarella.

Anchor Easy Bakery cream is made with 100% New Zealand dairy milk and targets the rapidly expanding mid-tier segment of China’s UHT cream market.  

In China, the demand for UHT cream continues to rise due to factors such as the increasing middle-class population, urbanisation and heightened awareness of the nutritional benefits of dairy products.  

The Fonterra cooperative operates six application centres across the country, enabling close collaboration with technical experts and customers for creating new product applications jointly using its dairy offering.
