On the left is latest 52 weeks, with the timeframe progressively shorter until the last column, which is the last 4 weeks to end 2021, through 12-26-21. Please note that included in the report is not only a comparison to 1 year ago, but also a comparison to 2 years ago (pre-COVID), stripping out COVID lock-down buying patterns.

On a 52 basis, vs. 2 years ago (pre-COVID) California continues to be on par with or outperform TTL US on all categories of dairy consumption except milk. On the more recent 12- and 4-week comparisons, we are closer to the national buying patterns, with pretty significant growth over 2019 in most categories. Butter, yogurt and cottage cheese are stand-out categories for CA versus the rest of the US.
