QBB Ghee : Comments by Mr. M. D. Wilson, last general manager of the original QBB manufacturer

From 1946 upto to 2006, QBB Ghee was first produced by Queensland Butter Board, later known as Butter Marketing Board and finally known as Butter Producers Co-operative Federation (BPCF), Brisbane, Australia. This product was up to 2006 pure butterfat ghee produced from the milk of dairy cows. I am sure of that as I was the last general manager of this firm. Based on a joint decision by all shareholders, BPCF's factory and warehouse in Brisbane was closed down in 2006 and BPCF was finally liquidated in 2007. The agent for QBB for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei was all the while Sadka Bros. in Singapore, a firm owned by Singaporeans and Australians of Jewish descent. These people do not eat pork and will never condone to lard being added into their product. However somewhere after 2000, they sold of their shareholdings to Dairy Farmers of Australia, who eventually changed the name to QBB Pte. Ltd., Singapore. If you were to look at the Information Resources issued by ACRA of Singapore, the principal activities of QBB Pte. Ltd. now is preparing, canning and preserving of livestock and livestock products which indicate animal fat and tissue products. This completely different from dairy products which indicate cow's milk based products.
