About

Saputo Dairy UK is the British dairy business that traded as Dairy Crest until Saputo Inc. of Canada bought it in April 2019 and renamed it that July; Dairy Crest Limited remains the principal legal entity and is still registered at Companies House under number 02085882, active from 23 December 1986 at 5 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge.[1][2] The business began in 1981 as the processing arm of the Milk Marketing Board.[1] Its brands include Cathedral City, Clover, Country Life, Utterly Butterly, Vitalite and Willow, and spread and Frylight production is consolidated at Kirkby on Merseyside.[1] A separate company, Saputo Dairy UK Ltd, number 11834952, is registered at the same address.[2] The GS1 prefix 5000373 is recorded here as derived from this barcode and the brand ownership, not from a register: no public source names the licensee.
