Santa Monica, Ca - April 16, 2015. A box of Land O Lakes salted butter. ( Getty images ) Land O’ Lakes has an updated look for 2020.

The farmer-owned dairy cooperative, which produces butter, cheese and other milk products, has dropped the Native American maiden image from its packaging, opting instead for just a landscape.

The logo, which has been the company’s label for nearly 100 years since it was founded in Minnesota in 1921, has been called “racist” and criticized for its use of the “butter maiden.” The new label was announced in a press release from Land O’ Lakes in February, though it made no specific mention of removing the Native American image from all products.
