Nestlé confectionery brand, Allens, has released a new jelly lolly treat for sweet loving Australians this summer – Allen's Berry Bunch. The company stated fans are sure to find a ‘soft spot’ for the new lolly, which has a unique soft-jelly texture and sugary coating.

Each pack contains a bunch of berry flavours, including ripe raspberry, juicy blackcurrant and sweet strawberry.

Nestlé head of marketing confectionery, Melanie Chen, said the team was excited to kick off 2025 with a brand new lolly.

“Lolly lovers will be thrilled to see a reimagination of the Allen’s iconic berry flavour trio – raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry – with our new Allen’s Berry Bunch,” said Chen.

“What’s more, a vegan-friendly flavour will bring a bit of fun to plant-based lolly fans.”

Allen’s Berry Bunch lollies are now available from Woolworths and independent grocers for RRP $5.00.

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.
