Health food company CocoEarth has launched a premium coconut oil product in liquid form.

CocoEarth claims the Liquid Coconut Premium Oil (LCPO) is an Australian first due to the fact it doesn't solidify.

“It extracts only the healthiest part of the coconut and doesn’t contain any chemicals or artificial ingredients,” the company states, adding that the expeller-pressed oil contains 1.5 times more healthy MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) than regular virgin coconut oil, and is believed to provide an energy boost that can increase ketones and strengthen the immune system and metabolism.

The LCPO is considered easy to digest and has the antimicrobial component of lauric acid. It can be used for sautéing, frying, baking, dressing salads, and grilling.

CocoEarth’s products are sold in Woolworths and Coles, as well as selected health and independent food stores.

RRP is $9.90 for the 250ml bottle and $13 for the 500ml bottle.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
