SunRice has launched two new rice variants created in collaboration with farming families in Tropical North Queensland.

 

The new products, The new SunRice Jasmine Fragrant Rain Fed Rice and Brown Wholegrain Rain Fed Rice, prominently feature Tully, the region from which they were sourced, on the pack.

 

The rice is grown by several farming families located near Tully, a region with rich, nutritious soil and fresh natural rainwater, resulting in a highly fragrant and super soft rice, according to SunRice.

 

“Tropical North Queensland is home to World Heritage listed sites and unparalleled luscious landscapes, and it’s here that SunRice’s new Rain Fed Rice is grown,” SunRice general manager, David Keldie says.

 

“It’s a pristine environment that produces beautifully fragrant and soft grains, a pure and healthy taste of paradise. We’re so pleased to be partnering with the region’s farmers to grow a delicious and versatile rice that’s perfect for adding a dash of something special to Australians’ cooking.”

SunRice’s Rain Fed Rice is now available in Woolworths and IGA stores nationally.

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.
