The story

In July 1992, Dairyworld was founded when Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association (Dairyland Foods), Northern Alberta Dairy Producers (Nu-maid Dairies), and Central Alberta Dairy Producers (Alpha Milk Co.) merged. In 1993, Dufferin Employment Co-op Ltd (Manco) joined Dairyworld. In June 1996, Dairy Producers Cooperative Ltd. joined Dairyworld, soon after it changed its name to Agrifoods International. In 1997, Dairyworld sold its ice cream to Nestle Canada.

In 2001, Agrifoods International sold all of its processing and brands, except Ultima Foods, to Saputo Inc.

In November 2009, Dairyland products were replaced in Ontario by Neilson after Saputo's acquisition of the Neilson Dairy brand from George Weston Limited.
