Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 10, 2015, Dean Foods Company (the “Company”) stated in its conference call discussing second quarter 2015 earnings that the Company’s branded versus private-label white milk mix for the second quarter of 2015 averaged 34.3%, which compares to a 34.8% branded versus private-label white milk mix in the first quarter of 2015. The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, filed later in the day on August 10, 2015, inadvertently stated that in terms of our branded versus private-label mix, our first half of 2015 branded white milk volumes were approximately 31%. The statements made in the earnings materials and related call are correct, and the Company’s branded white milk volume, as a percentage of total white milk volume, during the first half of 2015 was slightly below 35%.
