| 1297803 | 2012-08-30 01:05:00 | Living in the UK you can't get things like Milo from the major supermarkets. But tonight in my local Tesco's I noticed that they had tins of Milo. Thinking this had come from NZ or Australia I read the label to find that it was made in Kenya of all places. So where is NZ Milo made these days ? | wmoore (6009) | ||

| 1297806 | 2012-08-30 01:55:00 | There was something on the Fairgo TV programme recently. Read her (tvnz.co.nz)e Nestle say it's a parallel import, made by Nestle but in the Philippines to local taste - the Philippinos like it with less dairy and less malt. For us, that's less taste, and less nutrients - the Kiwi Milo has up to four times the vitamins, iron and calcium than the imported Milo. |

| 1297807 | 2012-08-30 02:59:00 | There was a section on our Fairgo program I think last year about someone complaining about the taste of his Milo he had bought from some shop in Auckland which he didn't like. It turned out the shop had got it from some importer who had impoted it from the Phillipines. @ wmoore you mightn't like the taste of it. :) |

And if you look at the label you'll see it's almost 50% sugar . |

| 1297809 | 2012-08-30 20:00:00 | I'm surprised to learn that we are led to believe Milo has any nutritional value. I've always thought of it as a brown insoluble grit rather than a food item. I'll never buy a packet. |

| 1297811 | 2012-08-30 21:48:00 | You used to be able to get Milo in England when I was a kid in the 70's but then it disappeared not to return until the millennium year when tesco started restocking it, the taste then was identical to here but don't know about now | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1297812 | 2012-08-30 22:19:00 | I used to drink milo as a kid but I have not used it for decades now as I find it too sweet and sickly. I do not put sugar in my coffee even. | Bobh (5192) | ||
