Cobs Fine Foods has released a flavour of popcorn called Movie Theatre Butter.

Made with butter, wholegrain corn, and salt, the new flavour is designed to “evoke memories of going to a movie at the theatre, at home,” company co-founder John Walys says.

“The mouth-watering aroma, rich buttery flavour, and crunch all play a part in creating that magical experience at the movies.”

Cobs Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn is gluten-free, made in a nut-free facility, and contains no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. It is also a source of dietary fibre.

Cobs Fine Foods has been making premium popcorn in Australia since 2004. RRP for the latest pack is $3.50.

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.
