Sanitarium has launched Oats2Go, a new liquid breakfast that is made predominantly from wholegrain oats.

The product has the same amount of protein, energy and fibre as a bowl of oats and skim milk, and is also low GI and low fat, according to Sanitarium.

Oats2Go, like others in the company's original liquid breakfast range, caters to those who are too busy to sit down to breakfast. According to Sanitarium, the average person now allocates less than 10 minutes for breakfast on a typical weekday, and a third spend five minutes or less.

“Sanitarium is committed to the health and wellbeing of all Australians, so we’ve developed Oats2Go with great tasting wholegrain oats to ensure busy Aussies can still get a great start in the morning, and make the most out of every day,” Daniel Derrick, general manager marketing, Sanitarium Australia, says.

Michelle Reid, Accredited Practising Dietitian and nutritionist at Sanitarium, said wholegrains contain all three components of the grain.

“Sanitarium is currently the only brand to overcome the challenge of being able to deliver a source of wholegrains in a liquid breakfast,” she said.

Oats2Go does not contain artificial colours or added preservatives, and is available in three flavours: Creamy Vanilla, Cocoa, and Banana & Honey.

It is being sold by all major retailers and a pack of three has an RRP of $4.99.

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.
