Margarine has become a major part of our diet and overtaken butter in popularity for use in many applications. 

The growing vegan market and changing dietary requirements have contributed to manufacturers moving away from butter to margarine.

However, some bakeries choose to continue using butter based on traditional recipes, and A S Harrison & Co also has viable products for those customer needs.

A S Harrison & Co margarine is created with superior quality, reliability and consistency and above all, full traceability from farm to fork.

For customers interested in butter blends, it has recipes with butter content ranging from five to 50 per cent.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
