The Department of Justice will only allow Dairy Farmers of America to acquire Dean Foods milk processing plants if it divests of three of its plants. Those three plants are in De Pere, Wisconsin, Harvard, Illinois and Franklin, Massachusetts. Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim from the DOJ’s antitrust division said this is a difficult time in the dairy industry with Dean Foods and Borden Dairy Company in bankruptcy and COVID-19 resulting in the loss of demand for milk and dairy products. “In the face of these challenges and Dean’s worsening financial condition, the department conducted a fast, but comprehensive investigation.”
