The launch of a limited edition Choc Mint Mudcake version of the classic Woolworths mudcake is being rewarded by fans across social media.

Cake transformations or 'hacks' have a cult following online with various flavours of supermarket mudcakes from both Coles and Woolworths eagerly snapped up.

This taps the marketing trend of selling ready-made cakes ripe for further decorating in a bid to entice consumers to try their hands at creating professionally looking birthday and special occasion cake.

Woolworths has expanded its mudcake range in recent times to include white chocolate and carmel varieties.

Formulated to attract choc-mint lovers, and a hungry-for-more tribe of 'cake hackers', the Choc Mint Mudcake is available only until stocks last at Woolworths supermarkets.

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.
