Rice brand Tilda has introduced two new flavours to its Australian portfolio, with a hint of spice and fragrance. 

The new additions – Firecracker Basmati Rice and Fragrant Jasmine Rice – are ready-to-heat flavours that are gluten- and dairy-free, and vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Firecracker Basmati Rice blends chilli, ginger, Szechuan pepper, soy sauce and garlic to give it a fiery taste, while Fragrant Jasmine Rice is best suited for a Thai green coconut curry or spicy pork dish, and even can be used a base for rice pudding.

Tilda is one the UK’s top basmati brands and develops products that are free from artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

The new range is now available at Woolworths and independent supermarkets for $3.40 per pouch.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
