Freedom Foods has introduced Blushing Banana Berry Crunch cereal to its breakfast range, which is suitable for children with food allergies and intolerances.

The cereal is free from gluten, nuts, dairy, cane sugar, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. It is also high in fibre, low in salt and fat and contains 40 per cent whole grains and real banana and strawberry pieces.

To guarantee the highest quality control standards, each batch of product produced at Freedom Food’s manufacturing site is tested to ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) standards.

Freedom Foods also grows its grains in controlled conditions to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Blushing Banana Berry Crunch cereal is available in a 375g pack at RRP$5.49 from Woolworths, Coles and independent supermarkets 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.
