The Natural Confectionery Co. has launched its first ever kombucha inspired jelly, which included prebiotic fibre.

The lollies have a liquid centre that contains kombucha extract, no artificial colours, no artificial flavours and 25 per cent less sugar that the average candy jelly products.

There are three flavours in the mixed bag: Strawberry Hibiscus; Ginger Peach; and Kombucha Original.

Marketing director Paul Chatfield said they noticed how Australians were embracing kombucha and couldn’t resist creating a new and fun way to consume the product.

The lollies are available from Woolworths from the end of January, RRP $4.00 for a 180g pack.

Packaging News

Following the voluntary administration of Recycling Plastics Australia and confirmation that no Commonwealth packaging scheme will be introduced this term, voices from across the packaging and recycling value chain have delivered a blunt assessment of what is at stake.

Pact Group CEO and managing director Sanjay Dayal has advised the board that he intends to leave the company, with an executive search now under way for his successor.

With a Commonwealth packaging scheme ruled out this term, pressure is building ahead of the 18 September Environment Ministers Meeting, as industry, recyclers and environmental groups demand clarity on what meaningful national reform can still be delivered – and when.
