Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.
 PROFILE
Snow Brand Milk Products Co. knows it's no use crying over bad milk. Though one of Japan's largest dairy products makers, the company lost its status as Japan's top dairy firm after contaminated Snow Brand milk products made more than 14,500 customers sick in summer 2000. It also makes fruit juices, frozen convenience foods, and drugs, although dairy and ice-cream products account for most of its sales. Started as a farmers' cooperative in 1925, Snow Brand Milk Products also conducts biotech research, including the first cloning of a calf from its mother's milk. Its subsidiaries around the globe make and sell infant formula. Snow Brand is forming a joint venture with Nestle Japan Ltd. to produce nonmilk beverages.
