Frozen dessert Frulato, made from 90 per cent fruit ingredients, has made its way to speciality and independent grocery stores around the country. 

The Frulato range is dairy-, gluten-, soy- and GMO-free, and is also suitable for vegan diets.  

It was developed after founder Cara spent decades with allergies and intolerances, as well as a finding a frozen dessert she could comfortably give to her kids.

The Australian made product has 62 calories per serve and also contains prebiotics, in addition to its high fruit ingredient content.

“As a result, you are left with a frozen dessert that has an amazing, plant-based ‘creamy’ texture that is gut friendly and suitable for most people to eat,” Frulato founder Cara said.

Frulato has three flavours – Mango, Mixed Berry and Passionfruit – and is now available in stores Australia-wide.

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.
