Leprino, cheese supplier to the three largest pizza chains, ends relationship with Willet Dairy.

February 1, 2010

Last Thursday, Denver-based cheese supplier Leprino Foods announced the removal of Willet Dairy from its list of milk suppliers. Leprino Foods, which supplies cheese to the three largest pizza chains in the US—Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, and Domino’s—acted after the release of Mercy for Animals’ (MFA) exposé of Willet Dairy. The investigation revealed numerous counts of animal cruelty, including tail docking and leaving “downed” cows to suffer without veterinary care. Leprino Senior Vice President, Mike Reidy, says the company is concerned with animal welfare and takes these findings seriously. CNN and ABC have provided coverage of MFA’s findings.
