Coles has designed a new Hot Cross Bun variety created from a traditional brioche recipe and made with Australian butter and free-range eggs.

The Coles Finest Traditional Recipe Brioche Hot Cross Buns four-pack is a limited edition product made for the lead-up to Easter.

Created by an Australian family owned bakery, the buns contain Australian vine fruits including Muscat raisins from the Murray River region, as well as orange and lemon oil.

Varieties include traditional fruit, chocolate, apple and cinnamon, fruit-free, and gluten-free. The RRP is $3.50 for a four-pack.

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.
