KitKat has launched two new flavours in its four-finger bar range, with the wafer chocolate now featuring varieties with Gooey Caramel and Mint Cookie Fudge.

KitKat Mint Cookie Fudge is coated with milk chocolate and combines mint fudge with cookie pieces, while KitKat Gooey Caramel has a layer of caramel above the crisp wafers. 

“KitKat is always looking for new ways to deliver tasty experiences to create indulgent breaks, and we’re sure the new KitKat range will deliver on that,” said Nestle head of marketing confectionery Joyce Tan. 

“By topping our classic four-finger wafer with these two new flavours, we’ve taken the original qualities of the much-loved bar and created a light yet lavish treat for chocolate fans. 

The new KitKat bars are now available nationwide in Coles, Woolworths, Big W, as well as independent and convenience stores for RRP $2.00.

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.
