The a2 Milk Company officially discontinued its products in the UK market in 2019, a major reason why A2 milk is not sold in the UK through large supermarkets. Unlike its success in Australia and China, the UK market presented unique challenges, including stiff competition from cheaper fresh milk and a rise in plant-based alternatives.

The a2 Milk Company was founded in 2000 in New Zealand by scientist Dr. Corran McLachlan and Howard Paterson, but its production today spans several countries. This expansion raises the question: what country does a2 milk come from when you buy it at your local store? The answer is more complex than a single nation, as the brand operates through a global network of specialized dairy farms.
