Kez’s has launched a new line of dessert-inspired Choc Mud Bars that, despite their indulgent facade, also come with a 4-star rating.

The gluten free bars, which are labelled "Free & Naked", are the first from Kez's to include the new front-of-pack health star rating system and were specially formulated with this in mind.

They are made from just five natural ingredients and contain no 'hidden nasties', according to the Melbourne manufacturer.

“There really is nothing to hide,” Kez's says.

Choc Mud Bars contain raw fruit, making them a source of fibre, and include no added sugar. They also tick a lot of other boxes, says Kez’s: they are vegan, lactose free, egg free, wheat free, GMO free, sulphite free, cholesterol free, and low in sodium.

Choc Mud Bars are being sold in Coles at a recommended retail price of $5.95.

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.
