Bircher muesli and yoghurt maker Yummia has launched a new ready-to-go yoghurt range that includes fruit and vegetables in each tub. 

Yummia makes bircher muesli and yoghurt products and the company says layered tub contains half a serving of vegetables and also comes with a Five Star Health Rating. 

The company was founded by 26-year-old entrepreneur Mia McCarthy four years ago and she estimates the company will have grown ten fold by the end the 2015 financial year. 

The flavours include Strawberry & Beetroot, Sweet Potato & Cinnamon and Apple & Carrot and each has a recommended retail price of $3.00.

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.
