Conga Foods' olive oil brand Moro has been revamped with new flavour infusions of chilli, garlic, pesto and balsamic.

Conga Foods marketing and innovation manager Kristen Moxey said the new product development came about after consumer research into pantry preferences.

"We landed on four variants that we think deliver on the flavour trends which are now rising in popularity," she said.

“Home cooks are increasingly looking for convenient ways to add flavour to food, and olive oil, as a pantry staple, represents a great opportunity to meet this growing need.”

Moxey said the company had kept a particular focus on the packaging design, ensuring a look that was "elegant enough for any kitchen bench".

Made with 100 per cent Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and available in a 250ml bottle, Moro Infusions products can be used for dipping, drizzling or cooking.

RRP for the product is $5.50.

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.
