PepsiCo Australia has added to its Smith's range with the launch of two new varieties that seek to capture the essence of classic home meals.

The two new Family Fave potato chip flavours include Spag Bol and Mac n’ Cheese.

“We wanted to give consumers a snack food that recreated the nostalgia of a home cooked meal, we can’t wait for them to try it,” Smith’s brand manager Alison Silver said.

Both Family Faves flavours are available in supermarkets Australia wide as well as selected petrol and convenience stores in 150g and 90g bags, RRP $3.29, as well as 45g bags in Mac n’ Cheese.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
