Reminiscent of marmalade made in the home kitchen, Barker’s of New Zealand has launched a new marmalade creation.

It is the first marmalade by Barker’s to hit Australian shelves, made from a traditional recipe with a twist, featuring grapefruit, lemon and citrus fibres, to create a zesty and mildly bitter marmalade.

Produced in the small town of Geraldine at the foothills of the Southern Alps in New Zealand, The Breakfast Marmalade is gluten-free, and contains no added preservatives, artificial colours or flavours.

The Breakfast Marmalade is available at Coles supermarkets for RRP $5.30.

Packaging News

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.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
