Allen's Peaches & Cream lollies will now be available in their own pack following feedback from Australian consumers.

Allen’s decided to pit three crowd favourites against each other – the juicy Peaches & Cream, retro lolly Racing Cars, and the classic but controversial Black Cats – in a bid to determine which of the three would go solo.

While thousands took to social media to campaign for their favourite lolly, Peaches & Cream fans were the most vocal and achieved 59 per cent of the votes.

Individual bags will be sold in Woolworths from late March.

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.
