Müller sent out a variation to the Milk Supply Agreement (MSA) to all existing suppliers (excluding Yew Tree) on 29th March 2025 that seeks to ensure that your MSA is compliant with the Fair Dealing Obligations (Milk) Regulations 2024. The period of grace granted to existing contracts expires on 9th July 2025, hence the requirement for the variation.
The most significant change from our perspective is that Müller will no longer be able to unilaterally vary the MSA unless approval is gained from MMG.
MMG have spent significant time consulting with our lawyer to ensure that the variations to the Terms & Conditions are in accordance with our interpretation of the regulations. If you would like further information on the FDOM regulations and how they affect you, please contact us on office@mmgdairyfarmers.co.uk.
