Bounce’s new Almond Protein Ball is designed for the cooler weather, offering an energy-packed health snack, according to the company.

Nutritionist Susie Burrell says the ball contains 12 grams of protein, including almonds, which are designed to keep people fuller for longer.

"Also, being cold pressed means the nutrition is preserved,” she says.

Each ball contains 0.8g saturated fat; no refined sugar; and is gluten-free. The ingredients are also cold-pressed – a process designed to preserve their nutrition

Bounce’s Almond Protein Ball is available at Woolworths, Coles, and major petrol stations for a RRP of $3.29 per ball.

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.
