Bega Cheese has launched Blend 17 a premium limited edition Vegemite product with a "bolder finish".

 

According to its maker, the new offering, which is manufactured at the Port Melbourne Vegemite facility, has been “crafted for a richer Vegemite experience with a bolder finish”.

 

The 150g jar comes in a gold-lidded cardboard box and sells for $7.00, double that of a traditional jar.

 

Earlier this year, Bega Cheese took over the brand when it bought the grocery business of US food giant Mondelēz International.

 

The name Blend 17 refers to the year of the product's release, according to Bega Cheese.

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.
