Australian-made brand Birch & Waite has expanded its salad dressing range with its latest Goddess Dressing variety, made from turmeric, lemon, garlic and herbs.

Birch & Waite’s salad dressings are chef-inspired and are made from fresh ingredients to ensure “maximum flavour is secured in every batch-crafted bottle”.

The company was founded more than 30 years ago, with a vision to provide superior-quality fresh, chilled products for the professional, or home-based, chef.

Its latest addition – the Golden Goddess dressing – is vegan, has no artificial ingredients or added preservatives and is gluten-free.

It can be used a salad dressing, as well as a sauced stirred through vegetables, or marinade for beef, fish or tofu.

Birch & Waite Golden Goddess dressing is available from Woolworths for RRP $5.00.

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.
