For Fonterra, a straightforward question that they might ask is for candidates to talk about their full product line. Your interviewer is giving you the opportunity to while also seeing if you have any firsthand experience with their line of dairy products.
"I am very familiar with the Anchor brand, particularly your line of cheeses as my favorite food is cheese, cheese, and more cheese! I have tried many of your specialty cheeses, like your Sharp Cheddar and Egmont. My favorite has always been the Anchor Vintage Cheese. I was reading about your line of NZMP dairy ingredients like your protein line of milk fats and milk powders."
"The Anchor Blue Milk has been a staple in my home since I was a young age, and your cheeses are fantastic! I'm also very familiar with your organic salted butters from grass-fed cows."
Prior to your interview, be sure to perform some basic research by reviewing the Fonterra website and learning about their full line of dairy products. Come to your interview prepared to speak to that full line. If you have consumed any of the products that you mention, be sure to share which ones are your favorite and what is so appealing about them.

The Anchor cottage cheese and Protein yogurts-Vanilla are my favorite being they're not only good-tasting but pack a lot of protein and nutrients which is a really big thing for me! Although the Anchor cheese slices and CalciYum are big faves for my little sisters and nieces!
