[3] In Britain, Arla supplies milk to retailers and produces many household brands, such as Lurpak, Anchor Butter, Cravendale, Lactofree and Castello.

According to the BBC, in August 2015, farmers were paid less per pint of milk by Arla than by supermarkets that buy directly.

[7] In November 2024, Arla, and Müller became subject to a boycott by some consumers, after they announced that they would add Bovaer (3-Nitrooxypropanol) to the cattle feed of some of their cows as a trial to reduce methane emissions.

[13] Following the success of Lactofree milk, Arla introduced a range of lactose-free products, including cheese and yoghurt.

The company has processing plants in England at Palmers Green (London), Stourton (Leeds), Settle (North Yorkshire) and Malpas (Cheshire), and in Scotland at Lockerbie.
