In another clever cross-category collaboration with its subsidiary Cadbury, Kraft has unveiled Chocolate Philadelphia, a new breed of sweet treat that is designed to top a cracker, a slice of bread or accompany fruit.

A 25g serve harbours around 78 calories, so the product is being targeted at the ‘health-conscious treat seeker’ and being positioned as “so good you’ll think it’s bad”.

It comes in two formats: a 140g single tub and a 150g pack of four mini-tubs, both with an RRP of $3.19. Chocolate Philadelphia is available in Woolworths, Coles and independent retailers nationally.

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.
