United States trade organisation Food Export is hosting a virtual trade event for Australian importers and retailers to connect with food and beverage manufacturers and suppliers. The event runs 11-14 May with virtual meetings available each day.   

Food Export’s In-Market Representative for Australia John Arnold, from CX Food, said the event was a great opportunity for importers, buyers and retailers to meet with export-ready food, beverage and manufacturing ingredient suppliers who were keen to establish and grow sales in the Australian market. With international travel not possible the virtual platform is a perfect way to meet and to keep up to date on the new and emerging food and beverage products from the US.      

The US suppliers have a range of speciality, gourmet food and beverage products as well as large manufacturers of dairy products, ingredients, seafood, berries and dates.  

There is also a number of international distribution and shipping specialists who have access to thousands of products from across the United States who can provide logistics and consolidation services.

Food Export is looking forward to connecting Australian importers and buyers with exciting new products and creating new networking opportunities.  

Meetings will be scheduled between 8am and 10am AEST starting next Tuesday 11 May. The meetings will be via Zoom which will be easily accessible from Food Export’s central platform.

Packaging News

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
