What's all this about blue, purple and red lactate products being used for
screws?

In Winnipeg, our lactate products are identified by Homo, 2%, 1% and skim,
and we drink these lactate products!

Available in 1 and 2 litre sizes, as well as a small 250 ml size.
The 1 litre size fits nicely in the Westy cooler!
