Country Fresh is owned by Dean Foods based in Texas. It is the second largest processor of fluid milk in the U.S. behind Nestle.
Dean Foods is closing a total of seven similar plants in seven states including Kentucky, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
160 workers in Livonia are losing their jobs, but there is also a distribution center where the union president says some workers may be able to relocate.
But many of the workers are in their 50s and 60s and will have a tough time finding new jobs.
The president says they have a meeting on July 11 with the company to work out severance terms, extended health care and pay based on their years of service.
7 Action News contacted Dean Foods in Texas for comment and have not heard back.
