Low fat milk

[Negita43]

For the past couple of weeks in my area (Korat) I have been unable to buy it

Anyone know if there is an issue

Have you ever seen a fat cow in Thailand? They all look anorexic

Hahaha yeah for sure I was definitely referring to the animal variety 🤣

Are you referring to UHT milk or fresh milk or what?

 

I can still  readily buy both low fat and nonfat Foremost brand UHT milk where I am (Prachinburi).

The best guess is simply supply chain issues. Things like changing delivery carriers, or maybe it's a one pickup truck delivery and the truck broke down. Could be a breakdown in machinery at the processing plant. If you want a real answer you should contact the dairy company. In the meanwhile powdered non fat milk is readily available if you can tolerate it.

Imho, any common milk brand in Thailand besides Meiji is gross for one reason or another.  That said, Meiji's low-fat product also tastes strange and unsatisfying.  For many years I have bought Meiji regular (full-fat / dark blue label) milk simultaneously with Meiji non-fat milk and mixed them at home.   All you need is a container that can hold 500 ml.  Pour half of one box/bottle into the container.  Refill the half-empty box/bottle with the other milk, then refill the new half-empty box/bottle from the container.  Done in 3 minutes and it's great tasting low-fat milk.  I never buy Meiji's own low-fat milk anymore.  It's just weird stuff.  Something not right about it.

Not really - this is at several different places (Macro Tesco 7/11) in several different locations and different brands (Meiji Dutch). Today managed to get last bottle (2L) of Meiji at a Tesco > My guess is a public health issue but that's a guess or 0% has become very popular with Thais (but I doubt that).
