Lindt has released its first vegan range with Classic Vegan Smooth and Classic Vegan Hazelnut chocolate blocks. The plant-based blocks are made with cocoa blended with oat and almond for creaminess.

Lindt Australia Master Chocolatier Thomas Schnetzler says the Lindt Classic Vegan range is the ultimate vegan chocolate indulgence that delivers a decadent taste sensation and quality seen throughout their entire range.

“People love and adore the creaminess and velvety rich flavour of milk chocolate, and now vegans can enjoy that premium full sensory, creamy chocolate experience whilst not compromising on quality or taste,” Schnetzler said.

Classic Vegan Smooth Chocolate is made with oat, bringing out rich earthy flavour, and is finished with almond that delivers a perfectly smooth and creamy texture.

Classic Vegan Hazelnut is roasted hazelnuts surrounded by premium vegan chocolate for a contrast in texture and rich nutty flavour.

The vegan range is available at Lindt Chocolate shops and through its website, independent grocers and from May, Coles nationally for RRP $6. 

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.
