Bickford’s has rolled out three new syrups created for consumers wanting to make barista-style coffee at home.

The new flavours are Salted Caramel, Roasted Hazelnut and Dark Chocolate and they target the one in three homes that now have a coffee-making machine.

Coffee drinkers are increasingly choosing speciality syrups at cafes, according to Bickford’s marketing manager Chris Illman.

“The new range presents a welcome opportunity for retailers nationally,” Illman said.

“Flavoured syrups are expected to deliver incremental cross-category sales to regular white milk and instant coffee purchases – both of which are growing.”

The range is expected to grow and will be sold at Coles, IGA, Foodland and other supermarkets, cafes and restaurants.

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.
