Australian family-owned and operated company Livwell has launched its latest snack, cheese flavoured, Cheezy Nooch.

Cheezy Nooch Wholepops are a wholegrain snack made with nutritional yeast, which is known by vegans as nooch.

Nooch is a good source of protein and contains high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Studies suggest that nutritional yeast may help protect against oxidative damage, lower cholesterol and boost immunity.

The Cheeze Nooch Wholepops have been launched with three other flavours, Turmeric, Beet, and Matcha. They are available in independent supermarkets and health food stores.

Livwell produces more than 20 plant-based snack lines and is working to build relationships with distributors across the country to reach the growing consumer interest for the products.

Packaging News

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.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
