Spicy sauce brand Tabasco has added a new Buffalo-style variety to its range, in a kitchen-friendly 1.89L bottle.

Brand manager Anthony Fotoulis said the new bottle size is intended to make it easier for chefs and home cooks who use large quantities but want an easy-pour container.

The 1.89L bottle contains approximately 379 servings and has a shelf life of nine to 24 months.

The new sauce is based on cayenne pepper and suits cooking with wings, or as a condiment for foods such as pizzas, dips and beans.

Other sauces in the range include Original Red Pepper, Green Sauce, Chipotle Sauce, and Habanero Sauce.

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.
