Having been one of the first companies to incorporate chia in a bread product, Bakers Delight has now introduced a chia and fruit loaf to its wholemeal range this winter.

Bakers Delight Chia and Fruit Loaf is high in fibre, which is good for digestive health and antioxidants, which help fight the ageing process. It has no added sugar, and also has the added benefits of protein and thiamin for healthy growth and development.

Chia is an ancient seed first used by the Aztecs, and is one of the highest natural sources of the plant form of omega-3 ALA. It is also a good source of omega-6 LA, antioxidants and protein which are all important for healthy skin. Studies have shown a diet containing antioxidants can slow the process of ageing in the body.

Bakers Delight Chia and Fruit Loaf is available at RRP $5.50 or $1.20 for a single serve bun from over 630 Bakers Delight bakeries across Australia.

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.
