Smith's has rolled out a new range of Sakata rice crackers using real vegetable extracts such as beetroot, pumpkin, and spinach.

Launching in a new 50g pack size, Sakata Rice Crackers with vegetables offer a lunch time accompaniment or on-the-go snack.

They can also be enjoyed as a standalone snack, according to the company.

The new launch expands Sakata’s range of better-for-you savoury snacks with no artificial colours, flavours, or added MSG. They are also gluten-free.

All three flavours will be available in Coles and independent supermarkets from 7 May. RRP for each pack is $1.50.

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.
