A new brand of tomato or barbecue sauce with the mission of supporting SANFL clubs has been rolled out.

SANFL has partnered with Adelaide’s Spring Gully Foods to launch Footy Sauce, with part of the proceeds going back to SANFL clubs.

Spring Gully Foods MD Kevin Webb says SANFL will receive a percentage from each bottle of sauce sold, with the money to be distributed among the League’s clubs for grassroots football programs.

The new SANFL-branded sauces are sold in 500ml squeeze packs, and Spring Gully will continue to produce its traditional home-style sauce.

“Depending on demand, we may look to expand the packaging options later to include single serve sachets and different-size bottles,” Webb says.

The sauces will be available at most Foodland and IGA stores in South Australia.

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.
