Long-life flavoured milk packs have started coming in local markets from new sources like Kuwait and Turkey, replacing the stocks of previous brands imported from seize countries.
The new stock of flavoured milk is a big relief to the parents who were worried over gradual decline of old stock due to blockade because their children depended almost on it.
The newly arrived stock from Kuwait and Turkey are available in strawberry, chocolate and banana flavours at various commercial major outlets, supermarkets and groceries. A tetra pack of 200ml of new long life flavoured milk costs about QR2.5 per piece but in case of buying full box the consumers will have to pay only QR1.8 per piece, The Peninsula noted.
A box containing 24 pieces (in packs of 250ml) of long life flavored milks of Kuwaiti brand “Kdcow” was available at QR44.5 at a famous commercial outlet operating at Ayin Khalid yesterday. However, supermarkets and grocery shops were selling at QR2.5 per piece. Another flavoured milk of Turkish brand “Sutas” is also available in tetra pack of 200ml at QR2.5 per piece at various outlets in local markets. The newly arrived stock is very similar to those coming from seize countries in term of prices and tastes, the consumers said.
“I took a big box of Kdcow flavoured milk for my four years daughter," said Abdullah Ansari, a Pakistani national who came to a commercial outlet with his family for shopping.
“I gave a piece to my daughter she liked it. She had been drinking Al Marai doubled strawberry flavoured milk."
Since the stock run over from the markets, I switched to Lacnor flavoured milk but it is also disappeared from the outlets so I took Kdcow," he added.
“Kuwaiti long-life milk (flavoured and sample) of Kdcow brand are very delicious compared to other branded available in the local markets,” said Umm Aisha, an Indian woman. Consumers (citizens and expatriates) are accustomed to the taste of GCC countries for dairy products because most stock was coming from neighbouring countries, she added.
