Food company Select Harvests has launched a new range of oats through its Sunsol cereal brand.

Made with 100 per cent Australian wholegrain rolled oats, the range comprises Rolled Oats, Quick Cooking Oats and Instant Oats.

Select Harvests product manager Suzanne van Leeuwen says Sunsol's popularity has been increasing with its selection of muesli blends, and the time is right for further growth.

“Part of our growth strategy is to continually revamp the Sunsol brand, and Sunsol Oats was a logical addition to the existing Natural Muesli range," she said. 

"The new Sunsol Oats extend the brand’s breakfast offering and give our consumers even more variety.”

RRP for the new oats packs is $3.49 each.

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.
