Duck grower and producer Luv-a-Duck has launched a new range of moisture-infused duck breasts.

Grown in Australia’s Wimmera region, the moisture protects the breasts against dryness when cooking.

The gluten-free range is suited to high-volume kitchens where consistency is key.

Each duck breast is a fixed 260-280g weight portion, making preparation time minimal and ensuring uniformity on the plate.

Luv-a-Duck was founded in 1968 when Arthur Shoppee grew a few ducks in his backyard for his family to enjoy. Soon after, he discovered a market for duck meat in Australia and spent the next 30 years learning all there was to know about duck farming.

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.
