Boycott Price Chopper Butter
Tell Price Chopper grocery stores, a Schenectady, NY family run business to stop using CA milk in Price Chopper private label butter. Tell them to support NY dairy farmers by using NY milk in all of their private label dairy products and to lessen their environmental footprint by not shipping CA milk and/or butter all the way to NY.
Why is this important?
Price Chopper grocery stores in NY are now proudly featuring a California Milk logo on their private label butter. As a NY business it would seem like they would want to support NY dairy farmers over those in California. Not to mention the environmental impact of having the butter shipped all the way across the country instead of sourcing their private label butter closer to home. Recently in an Albany Times Union article, Price Chopper, spokeswoman Mona Golub said "quality comes first, cost comes second" in considering bids from suppliers for private-label products. Does she mean to imply that CA milk is better quality than NY milk and that it was not a decision based solely on money? Boycott Price Chopper private label butter until they stop using CA milk in their private label butter. Buy Cabot instead or from your local producer!
