What is your advice to me after the Danish newspapers republished the cartoons offending the Noble Prophet on 13-2-2008, given that I work as a sales representative for the Danish food company Arla, which had its boycott lifted after it apologized to Muslims?

If the company apologizes for publishing the offensive drawings and disavows them, and did not participate in or endorse what was published, then there is no objection to continuing to work with them, as the default rule is the permissibility of working with non-Muslims unless there is an impediment. However, a Muslim should avoid working with them if an alternative is available, due to their lack of concern for Muslims.
