Australian family-owned business Tucker’s Natural has introduced its Artisan Range crackers exclusively into Coles stores across the country. It includes five varieties, all of which are non-GMO, and yeast and palm oil free.

Tucker’s Natural uses local ingredients such as Lemon Myrtle from Tumbeela Native Bushfoods in the Adelaide Hills, and aims to provide healthier options in the snack food aisle.

Healthy and gourmet snack foods are projected to account for a larger proportion of the Snack Food Manufacturing industry's revenue over the next five years, according to Tucker’s Natural.

“The leading supermarket chains have recognised these changing consumer trends. We worked with Coles to deliver a cracker range more in tune with current consumer needs,” said managing director Sam Tucker.

“Coles also recognised that consumers are looking for Australian owned and made products, that have provenance tracing, as well as brands that they can trust to consume safely and who take environmental responsibility seriously. Tucker’s Natural ticks all of these boxes,” said Tucker.

The new Artisan Crackers range has five varieties – Hummus, Rosemary Linseed & Rock Salt, Tomato & Basil, Five Seed and Lemon Myrtle & Pepper – and is available in Coles for RRP $4.00.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
