Mondēlez has expanded its belVita range with two new morning snack offerings, Bakes and Coconut Bites, to help consumers kickstart their day.

The ranges have no artificial colours or flavours, each snack provides a source of fibre or prebiotic fibre. They are designed for on-the-go moments, expanding the morning snack category. Made with seeds and grains, gourmet flavours and nourishing ingredients, both snacks offer consumers a better-for-you snack option that’s both tasty and convenient.

Mondēlez senior brand manager Constance Flegg said: “Australians are highly active snackers, relying on snacks almost as much as they do traditional meals. Almost three quarters (71 per cent) of adults enjoy a morning snack. Australians also have high expectations of what they are consuming – they’re telling us it must be tasty and a better choice.”

Earlier this year, belVita received a brand and visual identity refresh and with the launch of a series of new products, will continue to evolve, expanding its offerings into an adjacent area of demand – morning snacking.

belVita’s new Bakes and Coconut Bites are now available at Coles and independent retailers.

belVita Bakes (180g multipacks): $5.80

- Dark Choc (with real Dark Chocolate pieces)

- Fig & Pear

- Raspberry & Vanilla Bean (with Cranberry)

belVita Coconut Bites (90g): $4.70

- Raspberry & Vanilla Bean

- Dark Chocolate & Cranberry

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.
