French-owned multinational and dairy producer Parmalat has rolled out several new milk launches under the Pauls brand in time for summer.

There are new milk flavours within varieties of Oak Thick, Farmhouse Gold, and the lactose-free Pauls Zymil.

Oak Thick, which has a formulation which allows it to thicken when shaken, has been released in flavours of Death by Chocolate, Vanilla Killa, Choc Mint, and Salted Caramel.

RRP is $3 for a 425ml bottle, with some headspace for bubbles when thick.

Farmhouse Gold has been launched in chocolate and mocha flavours for the warmer months, with an RRP of $3 for the 300ml bottles.

Parmalat has also rolled out its Zymil brand in 400ml bottles, in flavours of chocolate and strawberry.

Both variants have 30 per cent reduced sugar compared with regular flavoured milk.

Zymil’s lactose-free milks feature a special enzyme called lactase, which helps break down the lactose into simple natural sugars so it’s easy to digest in the body.

RRP is $3.50 for a 400ml bottle of Zymil.

All products are now sold in Woolworths stores in Queensland, NSW and Victoria, with Zymil also available 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.
