Four individually wrapped pies from the Tasmanian pie company National Pies are available nationally for the first time, being stocked in Woolworths freezer aisle.

The 180 gram range use 100 per cent grass fed Australian beef and free-range Tasmanian chicken from Marion Bay.

National Pies CEO Geraldine Tebbutt said they were confident Australians would find practicality in the new freezer range and fall in love with the Tasmanian delicacy.

“Australian-raised meat and Tasmanian-grown produce are synonymous with quality. We are excited for those in states who haven’t experienced National Pies to get a taste of what we’ve all been raving about.

“Our pies are baked fresh daily, with our family-run Tasmanian bakery butchering their own meat and making their own in-house pastry,” said Tebbutt.

The pies will be available at an RRP of $3.00 in four flavours including Classic Grass Fed Beef, Free Range Chicken & Mushroom, Grass Fed Steak & Caramelized Onion, and BBQ Pulled Pork.

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.
