A new passionfruit curd from Barker’s New Zealand has made its way to Australian stores, developed as an addition for breakfasts, desserts, or to be eaten as a snack.

Barkers’ New Zealand Passionfruit Curd has a strong, sweet and tangy taste, while being gluten-free and having no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. 

“As an extension of the Barker’s New Zealand Curd range, the newly released Passionfruit flavour offers a fruity and refreshing taste with a touch of the tropics,” said Barker’s New Zealand head baker Clinton Squibb. 

“Perfect for the home baker to use as a filling for muffins, cakes or delicious homemade donuts. Curd is also a perfect topper for cheesecakes, pavlovas or meringue nests.”

Barkers’ New Zealand Passionfruit Curd is now available in 400g recyclable tubs for RRP $5.00 in Woolworths stores around the country.

 

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.
