US natural foods company Upton’s Naturals is bringing its vegan meal kits to Australian shores. The Thai-inspired dishes are made from whole-food ingredients and are ready in minutes in the microwave.

Each pack includes pre-cooked noodles, fresh vegetables and spices, and offers a convenient lunch solution while being 100 per cent vegan, free of trans fat, cholesterol, GMOs and preservatives.

“The inspiration for our meal kits came during our travels to Thailand where we source and manufacture our pre-seasoned, ready-to-eat jackfruit,” said Upton’s Natural co-founder Dan Staakmann.

“They’ve been a hit in the States, and with more Aussies following a meat-free diet, we’re very excited for this audience to give our convenient, heat-and-serve Meal Kits a try.”

The products are not dehydrated and are packaged in a retort pouch to maintain freshness.

Upton’s Naturals meal kits are available in four varieties – Pad See Ew, Massaman Curry, Thai Spaghetti and Thai Curry Noodle – and can be found in health food shops and supermarkets nationwide.

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.
