Arnott’s is adding Butternut Snap to its range of biscuit-based chocolate blocks. The new milk chocolate block is packed with golden oat and coconut biscuit pieces.

The biscuit-inspired range was first introduced in April last year, which features Arnott’s classic biscuit flavours, including Ginger Nut, Iced Vovo, Scotch Finger and Wagon Wheel.

Butternut Snap is a welcome addition to Arnott’s blocks range, said Arnott’s marketing managing Pauline Mercier.

“The planning for Butternut Snap chocolate started a long time ago,” she said.

“Consumers have really embraced the launch of Arnott’s Chocolate range, so the hardest choice was deciding which flavour to make next.

“The combination of Arnott’s iconic biscuit flavours with smooth and creamy chocolate has proven to be a perfectly indulgent chocolate treat, and we’re pleased to bring this new flavour to market for all of the Butternut Snap fans.”

The Butternut Snap chocolate block will be available for RRP $5.00 in IGA stores and independent retailers from next week.

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.
