Last week, our Lactalis USA Role Models came together in Chicago for our annual Role Models Forum, a dedicated time to connect, share experiences and celebrate what it means to live our values across the business. What an incredible group to recognize! 🏆 The Role Model Award is our highest employee honor. Each year, it recognizes individuals who go above and beyond, bringing our values of Engagement and Ambition with Simplicity to life in their everyday work and interactions. This year’s 26 honorees come from teams across Lactalis USA, representing our plants, distribution centers, corporate and commercial roles. Nominated by their peers and leaders, they reflect the very best of our culture. During the Forum, these Role Models came together to connect, share experiences and bring our Better Together mindset to life, strengthening the impact they bring back to their teams. Six were named USA Role Models and earned a special experience in France or at one of our Lactalis USA locations. 🇫🇷 To our 2025 Role Models, thank you for raising the bar and inspiring those around you every day.
We’re excited to share a major milestone in our American growth story: Lactalis USA has completed the acquisition of General Mills’ U.S. yogurt business!

At Lactalis USA, we’re passionate about offering consumers an unmatched range of yogurts — from organic and high-protein options to kid-friendly snacks and indulgent treats. And we’re just getting started. Come grow with us. Discover opportunities to join a company that’s shaping the future of dairy, here in the U.S. and around the world.
We’re thrilled to congratulate the first graduating class of the North American Cheese Academy — a groundbreaking internal program designed to cultivate technical expertise and elevate careers in the art and science of cheese making. Over the past year, participants immersed themselves in six intensive, hands-on modules, mastering the craft of cheese production and technical monitoring. This program is more than just training — it’s a testament to our investment in people, passion, and progress. Our newly minted graduates are now equipped to drive operational excellence across our facilities in Canada and the U.S., bringing their deep knowledge and skills to every wheel, wedge, and block. At Lactalis USA, we believe in growing talent from within — and the Cheese Academy is just one of the many ways we’re building brighter futures, one curd at a time.
As we gathered for our annual national meeting in Arlington, TX, our talented employees took time out to produce more than 2,300 pizzas that were delivered to 34 shelters in the Dallas area. Thank you to all our team members who worked to help feed people in need. We are One Team with Passion!
