60 jobs at Cornwall dairy factory under threat

A major UK cheddar cheese supplier is considering axing some 60 roles at its dairy factory in Cornwall.

Saputo Dairy UK, which manufactures brands such as Cathedral City and Wensleydale, is looking to reduce its workforce by 80, with the majority of jobs being cut at Davidstow Creamery, near Camelford.

The company told Business Live it was proposing to stop making a number of ingredients for the baby formula market and instead return to producing sweet whey powder. The proposed job cuts will have no impact on the supplying farms or cheese production,
