UPDATED 1.50PM: More than 30 firefighters have attended a fire at the Fonterra Brands New Zealand milk foods plant in Takanini in south Auckland.

A burnt-out motor has filled a building at the site with smoke, causing it to be evacuated.

Eight fire engines were at the site, where it's now business as usual.

The plant processes 50,000 litres of milk each day and about 600 people work there.
