Chobani-owned Bead Foods has launched a range of organic yoghurt pouches for kids under its Gippsland Dairy brand, which are made with whole organic milk and no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Gippsland Dairy Mini Organics are available in four flavours including strawberry, apple, banana and pear. Conveniently packaged in 70g pouches for on-the-go consumption, Bead claims the Mini Organics range is currently the only children’s yoghurt pouch on the market that comes with a kid-safe lid.

Emily Houlahan, accredited practising dietitian and communications coordinator for Bead Foods, said the Mini Organics yoghurt pouches are perfect for growing bodies.

“Mums and dads can rest assured that their little ones will enjoy the taste while receiving the full benefits of organic, natural, full cream yoghurt. Each pouch of Mini Organics yoghurt contains 10 per cent of the recommended daily intake of calcium as well as three strains of probiotics,” Houlahan said.

The Gippsland Dairy Mini Organics yoghurt pouches are available nationally in Coles, Woolworths and independent grocery stores for RRP $1.39/70g.

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.
