Re: Food safety system vital, December 13 letter.

The owners of Lindsay Farm care about their animals and their environment — that's how they produce a highly valued product, organic raw milk. This product has been sold for over a decade and sold legally, so their lawyers say.

MPI says Lindsay Farm is selling its product illegally. This will no doubt be decided in a court of law, because for Lindsay Farm this is their livelihood!

MPI's legal expenses will be paid by hard-working New Zealanders.

I and others are in disbelief that MPI has the audacity to use 'bully'-type tactics against Lindsay Farm, and to deprive New Zealanders of a high-quality product.
