Vi-Co was a brand of chocolate milk manufactured by the company Dairy Producers. When Dairy Producers were bought out by Dairyland in 1995, the Vi-Co line was abolished. It was available in Saskatchewan, Canada, a few parts of Manitoba and Quebec. Laiterie Royala in Beauce, Quebec still uses the name Vico for one of their chocolate milk products.
