Danone
Just missing out on the top spot is Danone with its turnover of £12.11bn.
The French firm manufactures yogurt brands Activia, Actimel, Danio, Oykos and Shape.
It is also well known for its Aptamil follow on milk for infants and Nutricia nutrition drinks.
Last year, the firm was forced to “adapt its structures and costs” to target £172.7M of savings in Europe by 2015 to overcome a decline in trading profits.
Danone appointed Adam Grant as the md for its dairy division, in December.
