Bulla Dairy Foods has introduced its own Baileys cream and custard in time for Christmas.

The launch follows the introduction of Bulla's Baileys-flavoured ice cream range in August.

The new cream and custard products, which can be used with the Christmas pavlova and a range of other desserts, will be released for only four weeks from 1 December.

They are available in Original Custard (500ml tubs, RRP $4.99) and Baileys Original Cream (200ml tubs, RRP $2.99).

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.
