Halo Top is increasing its presence in the better-for-you market with the launch of its pint-sized plant and oat milk based Triple Chocolate Cake flavour. 

With 400 calories or less, 20 grams of protein and one-third the amount of sugar compared to dairy ice creams, the dessert is

ideal for those seeking a guilt free option. The ice cream is an addition to the brand’s existing oat range of Chocolate Hazelnut and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. 

Halo Top International chief marketing officer Ryan Bouton said the brand is always looking to improve its recipes. 

“When we tried our new oat milk formula for our plant-based tubs, we immediately knew we had created a creamier, more indulgent texture our fans would really love. 

“We are so excited for customers to taste our latest flavour and enjoy another dairy-free and vegan-friendly alternative to our traditional dairy tubs,” said Bouton. 

Halo Top Triple Chocolate Cake is available at Woolworths and Coles 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.
