This Australian Cheese Company Has Officially Changed Its Name After Citing An Offensive History Delish 1/14/2021
Update: January 12, 2021
In an announcement from July of this past summer, an Australian dairy brand said they were reevaluating the name of one of their cheese brands due to racist connotations. The cheese, which was previously named COON cheese after founder Edward William Coon, will now be called CHEER cheese.
Edward William Coon patented a cheese-ripening process that is used to make the cheese brand s products, but following suit with other brands that reconsidered the historically problematic undertones of their names and logos, parent company Saputo Dairy Australia decided to change the name. Back in July, the company said they were deciding on a name that could still honor the founder of the brand while also being in line with their values.
