Danone Acquisition of Whitewave Wins U.S. Antitrust Approval

(Bloomberg) -- Danone agreed to sell its Stonyfield Farms brand for its $12.5 billion acquisition of WhiteWave Foods, the Justice Department said
  • Without the sale, the acquisition would reduce competition in the market for organic milk, potentially harming dairy farmers in the northeast and U.S. consumers, the government said
  • Stonyfield must be sold to independent buyer approved by the U.S.
  • Settlement with the antitrust division filed in federal court in Washington
