Frequently Asked Doorstep Questions 

The glass bottle foil tops are different to poly bottles, simply because glass bottles existed first and the foil tops have not changed over the years. Most glass suppliers of milk are still using the traditional colour scheme for the foil tops which are silver for whole milk, red for semi-skimmed, blue for skimmed and gold for Channel Island.

When the grocery stores came along and the poly bottle was introduced, the grocery stores decided that they were going to use blue for whole milk, green for semi-skimmed and red for skimmed. Although this did not match what was done in the glass milk market, the grocery stores decided that this was how they were going to do it. In order to supply to grocery stores and shops, milk suppliers now colour code the same as the grocery stores for their poly bottles in order to not confuse customers.
