Lager brand Stella Artois is rolling out limited edition packs to support a new clean water campaign aimed at helping the developing world.

As part of the brand's partnership with Water.org, forged at the World Economic Forum, each of the packs will provide six months of clean water for one person in the developing world.

The initiative is part of the ‘Buy a Lady a Drink’ drive for 2017.

The packs, sold in the UK, feature a premium white wrap and Water.org branding on 330ml and 284ml bottles, as well as Stella Artois' range of multipacks.

The partnership with Stella Artois aims to provide 3.5 million people with long-term sustainable access to clean water by 2020.

Food & Drink Business

Ferrero has gained more ground in the US through its acquisition of WK Kellogg for $4.7 billion (US$3.1b). Since 2018, Ferrer has acquired Nestle's US chocolate business for $4.25 billion, Kellogg's cookies and fruit snacks unit for $2 billion, and ice cream company Wells Enterprises.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) says it won’t oppose Lactalis’ proposed acquisition of Fonterra’s consumer and food service businesses, if the bid goes ahead. While it would see two of the largest buyers of raw milk combine, the ACCC says it is “unlikely” to result in a lessening of competition.
