Last March, Amul announced that for the first time, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) would launch four milk variants in the US market.

“We have been exporting dairy products for many decades. This is the first time we are launching fresh milk outside India. The GCMMF has tied up with 108-year old cooperative organisation Michigan Milk Producers Association (MMPA) to launch fresh milk in the US market,” GCMMF MD Jayen Mehta earlier told PTI.

“Recipe will be ours. Within one week, Amul Taaza, Amul Gold, Amul Shakti and Amul Slim n Trim will be available in the US market,” he added. Among the places where Amul said it would start selling its products were New Jersey, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Texas, and Washington.
