Iconic ice cream brands Peters and Gelato Messina have partnered up to redefine a classic Australian treat into ice cream form, the Messina Lamington Gelato Bar. 

The chocolate gelato rich bar with raspberry sauce for its base has desiccated coconut pieces and is coated with a milk chocolate layer. 

Peters head of marketing Andrea Hamori said: “We know how much Aussies loved the last collaboration we did with Gelato Messina, so we’ve reimagined a classic Aussie dessert, just in time for summer, which we know Aussies are going to love.” 

Messina co-owner and head chef Dontato Toce added that the company enjoys pushing boundaries with flavours and the new gelato is no different. 

The Messina Lamington Gelato Bar is available at Woolworths and Coles for RRP $10.00 per four pack.

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.
