Six on the shelf: from reformulated Vegemite to award-winning dips
Happy little kids formula
Designed specifically for younger tastebuds, VEGEMITE Kids is designed to be milder in flavour with 50% less salt than the original. It also has a smooth texture to make it easier for children to spread. The 220 g jar is available at Coles and Woolworths nationwide from Bega Group.
A spread of Violet Crumble
After going 'viral' on social media during its two-week launch in ALDI, the Violet Crumble spread is back — this time in supermarkets nationwide. Influenced by the flavours of the Violet Crumble chocolate bar, the chocolate spread has shards of crunchy honeycomb. The deal with Kruger was brokered by Asembl on behalf of Menz Violet Crumble.
Indulgence in an ice cream tub
Behind the Cremissimo creation is Streets’ locally based NSW R&D team, which has decades of technical expertise in ice cream formulation and manufacturing. Available in five flavours, each 1 L tub has a smooth and creamy texture, an ice cream base paired with addictive inclusions and sauces.
Yoghurt reimagined
Asembl is reimagining the Streets Weis Mango ice cream bar with the launch of Raw C Mango & Cream Paradise Coconut Yoghurt Inspired by Weis. Now available in Woolworths stores, the yoghurt has been inspired by the ice cream bar with the taste of mangoes and cream, together with coconut flavours. With no added sugar, it is also free from artificial colours and flavours.
Indigenous-inspired baked goods
Two social enterprises have come together in a collaboration to launch a series of six indigenous-inspired products that celebrate Australia’s combined refugee and First Nations cultures. The Bread & Butter Project and IndigiGrow range includes Lemon Myrtle and Pepperberry sourdough varieties, Dark Chocolate & Wattleseed Brownies, Toffee'd Saltbush Blondies, Caramelised White Chocolate & Saltbush Bikkies, and Lemon Myrtle Toffee'd Caramel Shortbreads, with all products becoming available via Harris Farm stores Sydney-wide.
