Low-calorie ice cream brand Halo Top has launched its range of sticks in stores, including a new flavour for Australian consumers, Strawberry Cheesecake.

With only 80-110 calories and 4-6 grams of protein per stick, Halo Top sticks will be available in five flavours – Birthday Cake, Sea Salt Caramel, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Swirl and Strawberry Cheesecake.

“After seeing the overwhelming demand for Halo Top sticks from our Aussie fans, we couldn’t wait to introduce them down under,” said Halo Top Creamery president and COO Doug Bouton.

“Even better – Strawberry Cheesecake is a new flavour and my personal favourite, so we’re excited to share it with our Aussie fans who are always hungry for more.”

Halo Top sticks are now available in four-packs in the freezer aisles of Coles and Woolworths for RRP $9.00.

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.
