Arnott's and Gelato Messina have teamed up to create a new gelato-inspired flavour range.

 

The Messina team spent hours at Tim Tam’s Western Sydney HQ, working with food technicians and tasting gelato in order to create the biscuit version of their signature scoops.

 

Nicky Thomson, global communications manager at Arnott’s said: “This new generation of Tim Tam is one of our most exciting and innovative yet.

 

“Gelato Messina is leading the way in the Aussie gelato movement, and we’re thrilled to pair their expertise with Australia’s most-loved chocolate biscuit.”

 

“We were drawn to the guys from Messina because of their uncompromising commitment to flavours. We’re happy to say this shines through in the biscuits, which taste as good as they sound.”

 

Co-Founder of Gelato Messina Declan Lee said, “It was a new challenge for us - making a gelato is one thing - and making a biscuit that tastes like that gelato is another”.

 

The Tim Tam Inspired by Gelato Messina range will be available at supermarkets and independent retailers from 6 February at RRP $3.65.

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.
