Brisbane-based Flavour Creations has launched a range of cheesecakes that stay fresh outside the fridge.

The new range, which is being sold under the company’s Nourish brand, is made with 100 per cent real cream cheese, is gluten and nut free, and has a 12-month shelf life stored at ambient temperature.

The range was initially designed and developed by Flavour Creations for individuals suffering from dysphagia, or difficulty with swallowing.

Flavour Creation’s head of marketing, Liam Murphy, says the availability of the range on the supermarket shelf was a natural progression for the popular product.

“Our entire range is self-stable which means no refrigeration is required,” he says. “This uniqueness has translated well with consumers, especially with parents looking for tasty and nutritious dessert options for the school lunchbox.”

The range comes in four flavours – Passionfruit, Lemon, Mixed Berry and Chocolate – and is being sold at Woolworths nationwide in 2x120g packs at RRP $3.99.

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.
