Be Natural has launched a range of granolas, cereals, and snack bars with new recipes and plant-based ingredients.

Coco-nutty Granola, for example, is designed to be eaten with coconut water following its partnership with H2coco.

The muesli is made with spelt, shredded coconut, nuts, seeds or fruits, and is available in two flavours: coconut, almond, spelt and cinnamon, and coconut, spelt, and fig.

Be Natural said it was responding to an increased demand for breakfast foods that partner well with milk alternatives.

The release of Be Natural’s Coco-nutty Granola is part of a wider product launch and rebrand for Be Natural.

Also new is a range of crunchy granola and seeds bars, as well as muesli and quinoa bars.

The 450g granola boxes have a recommended retail price of $5.99.

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.
