Australian naturally sugar-free beverage brand Nexba has launched a first-of-its kind probiotic water.

Nexba Probiotix water drink uses a unique strain of probiotic to deliver what Nexba says is the best in gut health without added sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives.

Probiotix is formulated with over a billion Bacillus Coagulans probiotics that are said to be able to survive a journey to the gut instead of being destroyed by gastric acid before having a chance to germinate and restore gut bacteria.

The Nexba Probiotix range is available in Mango, Citrus and Watermelon & Strawberry flavours at Chemist Warehouse.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

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.
