Consumers are waiting for an interaction with the producers of their food. At least, that's the idea of ​​the dairy giant and of the world's largest social media platform. 

Global Scale
FrieslandCampina will distribute the information about dairy products and their nutritional value to the customer via Facebook. Not just in the Netherlands, but on a global scale.
