McCain Foods ANZ has released a range of larger-than-average frozen meals called Mansize.

The meals, which are 50 per cent larger than most other frozen offerings, draw inspiration from traditional pub favourites and include quality cuts of meat and hearty sides.

Mansize meals respond to demand for frozen meals that offer convenience and value for money, according to head of marketing Katrina Wilson.

“While Australian consumer research told us that it’s men, predominately, who want more from frozen meals, Mansize is really a solution for any consumer looking for larger meals packed with more flavour and quality ingredients,” she says.

The meals come in 480-500g packs and varieties include 'Bangers in a rich onion gravy with creamy potato mash', 'Grilled chicken and bacon creamy pasta bake', and 'Chicken kiev with vegetables and potato'.

McCain Mansize meals have a recommended retail price of $7.99.

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.
