Whittaker’s Chocolate's latest release, Dark Ghana, is a 72 per cent cocoa creation, made with ethically, fairly, and sustainably produced, sun-dried, hand-picked cocoa beans.

The beans are also Rainforest Alliance certified and the bar contains no palm oil.

Enjoyed on its own or as a baking ingredient, Whittaker’s Dark Ghana is raising the bar for dark chocolate connoisseurs in Australia who will taste the difference.

Whittaker’s CEO Matt Whittaker says the new bar will be a welcome household staple.

“Whittaker’s produce good, honest, chocolate that is adored by chocolate lovers around Australia; from our family to yours, we know the Dark Ghana will be a welcome staple for Australians who enjoy and appreciate premium dark chocolate,” said Whittaker.

Known for their gold packaged blocks and slabs, Whittaker’s have been crafting chocolate since 1896 and remain a family owned and operated business today.

Dark Ghana is available to purchase for RRP$6.50 from the confectionery aisles of Coles, Woolworths and selected independent retailers now.

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.
