Nestle has launched a new immune support variety of its Uncle Tobys Plus cereal. 

Uncle Tobys Plus Immune Support is a blend of pepitas, mango and coconut. This cereal is rich in vitamin C, D, B6 and zinc to support a healthy immune system, as part of a balanced and varied diet.

Providing a source of fibre from whole grains to support healthy digestion, and no artificial colours or flavours, the cereal gives you a nutritious start to the day. 

Uncle Tobys ambassador and nutritionist, Kathleen Alleaume said, “Immune health is at the forefront of everyone's minds as consumers continue to look for ways to support their immune systems.

“While there are many components to immune health, nutrition plays a key role. Adequate nutrition is required for the cells of the body to function optimally, and this includes the health of our immune cells. You can support optimal immune function by eating a balanced diet that includes wholegrains, iron and antioxidants, such as vitamin C, and other key vitamins and minerals, including B6, zinc and vitamin D.”

Uncle Tobys Plus Immune Support is available at Woolworths and select IGA supermarkets for RRP $8.20. 

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.
