Lacthosa (incorporated as Lácteos de Honduras S.A.[2]) is a Honduran producer of food and beverage products, focusing on dairy and fruit juices.
In the mid-1990s, the company positioned its "Sula" brand for sales in Guatemala and El Salvador, and in September 2001, Lacthosa entered the U.S. market after receiving an export permit from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
[1] A 1998 report from the Office of the First Lady of Honduras noted Lacthosa had donated thirty-thousand glasses worth of milk to Honduran schools that year to insure that students received adequate nutrition.
[1] As of 2017[update], the company has five processing plants in Honduras, producing 140 million liters of milk in 50 municipalities in 14 departments, constituting the largest milk-producing enterprise in the country.
[3] Countries to which the company exports its products include El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic,[6][1][5][3] and the United States (primarily to Florida and Texas).
