Noluma Brings First Light-Protected Milk to Mid-Atlantic
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 07/23/2019

Noluma International, LLC, the leader in light protection technology, announced a new partnership with Lancaster Local, a Lancaster, Pa.-based community of farmers who produce high-quality, farm-fresh Grade A milk. The companies teamed up to design light-protected, Noluma-certified packaging that preserves the nutrients, flavor and overall quality of Lancaster Local's new, organic milk with A2A2 protein.

Research shows that in as little as an hour, retail and other indoor lights, such as fluorescents and LEDs, can degrade vitamins and nutrients in milk, as well as its freshness, overall quality and taste. Partnering with Noluma to introduce new, light protected packaging enables Lancaster Local to maximize its milk's quality throughout the product's full shelf life while setting a new benchmark for Pennsylvania dairies and retailers alike.

"Our dairy comes from grass-fed cows raised on small, family-owned farms and our farmers work hard to provide the best farm-fresh milk available in the Lancaster area," said Philip Lehman, managing director of Swiss Villa LLC, Lancaster Local's packaging provider and distribution partner. "With Noluma's technology, we were able to design a light-protected bottle that preserves the product's quality, nutritional contents and fresh flavor throughout its full shelf life. Now, when Lancaster Local milk drinkers see the Noluma logo, they can trust it's providing all the benefits listed on the label, and more."

The light-protected milk is now available in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.:

- Lititz, Pa.: Oregon Dairy, Harvest Lane Farm Market and other local-owned grocery and health food stores

- York, Pa.: Leg UP Farmer's Market

- Brodheadsville, Pa.: Shoprite

- Bristol, Pa.: Stoltzfus Country Deli in the Bristol Amish Market

- Wilmington, Del.: Janssen's

- Washington, D.C.: Yes! Organic Markets

- Laurel, Md.: Beiler's Cheese Barn at the Dutch Country Farmers Market

- New York, N.Y.: A Matter of Health

- Nanuet, N.Y.: A Matter of Health

More stores will be offering this as time goes on and we encourage interested customers to request it from their favorite grocer. With more than 100,000 dairy cows, Lancaster County is the top dairy-producing county in Pennsylvania and ranks eighth in the entire United States.

"More milk-drinkers are looking for local, organic and farm-fresh dairy products, but preserving these benefits can be difficult, especially in natural products," said Chris O'Grady, business director North America for Noluma International. "Noluma's technology means brands can promise consumers that the products they love will maintain their quality, freshness, flavor and nutrients throughout the product's shelf life. We are proud to partner with Swiss Villa and Lancaster Local to help set a new standard for packaging and light protection."
