TOKYO, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Japanese beverage maker Kirin Holdings Co Ltd 2503.T confirmed on Tuesday that top Australian cheesemaker Bega Cheese Ltd (BGA) was among the candidates it was talking to for the sale of its Lion Dairy business, but that no decision had been made.
A source told Reuters on Monday that Bega was conducting due diligence on Kirin's Lion Dairy & Drinks, which would likely cost around A$550 million ($402 million), although there was no guarantee of a deal.
Kirin was forced in August to scrap an earlier attempt to sell the business to Chinese food conglomerate China Mengniu Dairy Co Ltd 2319.HK for A$600 million after the Australian government blocked the sale amid broader geopolitical tension.
