Available in four flavours, every pouch features an image of one of our extinct New Zealand birds. Angus Allan of The Collective says “Educating children on the importance of nature is super important to us, and we believe extinction shouldn’t be a happening thing, so we’re supporting Forest and Bird and the Kiwi Conservation Club (KCC) with every Suckies pouch. Keeping the environment in mind, these pouches can be recycled with TerraCycle too – win!” The new range of flavours includes banana, blueberry, raspberry or strawberry, are a great source of calcium, perfect for lunchbox tucker or as a freeze ‘n’ go snack.

Now consumers can enjoy their beans and spaghetti as a healthier choice, with the company launching two new products that get added sweetness from the extracts of the stevia leaf and are 30% lower in salt than regular versions. Wattie’s nutritionist Penny Bailey says tinkering with the recipe of the iconic Kiwi foods was difficult, but the company wasn’t keen to compromise on taste. “We think we’ve got the balance just right so the new 50% less added sugar versions have the rich, tomato taste that Kiwis love, with less added sugar. These new products are another step in the Heinz Wattie’s journey in continuously improving its product range, ensuring New Zealanders can make a healthier choice for their families without compromising on taste." www.watties.co.nz SPX FLOW DEMINERALISED WHEY POWDER An economical and healthy ingredient used across many food and dairy products, demineralised whey powder is growing in popularity particularly in infant formula and sports nutrition products, which is seeing the use of the highly beneficial product intensifying in production.
