The Allen’s confectionery team at Nestlé has launched a brand new lolly collection for the summer season with a twist on classic favourites – the new Allen’s Sour Mix.

Featuring Sour Raspberry Red Frog, Sour Watermelon Wedge, Sour Apple Car, Sour Peach Lips, Sour Cola Bottles and Sour Pineapple, the Allen’s Sour Mix range combines iconic Allen’s shapes and flavours with a sour punch.

Nestlé head of marketing confectionery, Shannon Wright, said the company knows lolly lovers crave new and exciting flavours.

“Allen’s Sour Mix offers a tangy twist on our iconic favourites. This mix is all about bringing a new level of fun to every bite,” said Wright.

Allen’s Sour Mix 160g is now available at Woolworths and petrol & convenience stores for RRP $5.00, and will hit independent supermarkets and Coles later this year. A 60g bag is also available exclusively in petrol and convenience stores, for RRP $3.00.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
