Six on the shelf: on-the-go protein, ready-to-cook veggies and more
From corn ribs and ruby red kiwifruit to buffalo ice cream and ultrafiltered milk shakes, here’s a selection of six new food products that have been hitting the shelves.
Real food on the go
True Protein has launched its new ultrafiltered milk-based shake, made from real milk with 30 g of pure protein and no added sugar. Five years in the making, the True All Natural Protein Shake is a ready-to-drink protein developed using ultrafiltration technology with real ingredients — ultrafiltered grass-fed dairy and zero artificial additives. The product is available in two flavours at select wholesalers.
Corn ribs made easy
Kalfresh has launched its latest ready-to-cook prepped vegetable product — Sweet Corn Ribs. Ready in eight min, the corn ribs can be cooked by barbecue, air-fryer, microwave or oven. Packaged with a garlic sauce, the ribs are now on the shelves at Drakes’ supermarkets in Qld and other outlets will follow soon.
Ruby red and berry sweet
Zespri has launched a limited-season Zespri RubyRed Kiwifruit in Australia for the first time. Tasting like sweet berries, the kiwifruit variety has bright red flesh that contains antioxidants and vitamin C. To create the variety, Zespri worked with the Kiwifruit Breeding Centre, a partnership between Zespri and the New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science (formerly Plant & Food) using natural breeding techniques.
No fluff, just buff...alo milk ice cream
Western Australia’s Quindanning Buffalo and family‑owned MICA Creamery have joined forces to create buffalo milk ice cream for MICA Creamery stores across Perth. The small-batch ice cream is described as a rich, ultra‑creamy treat crafted from locally produced buffalo milk. It debuts in two flavours: Classic Vanilla Rich and Hazelnut Chocolate.

Snacks in all shapes and sizes
PepsiCo Australia has launched two new formats in its snack portfolio — Smith’s Crackers and Mini Canisters — with fun new food formats that tap into different occasions. The Smith’s range is entering a new aisle for the first time as an oven-baked crunchy biscuit available in five flavours. Mini Canisters will be filled with four of PepsiCo’s snack brands in mini sizes.
Aussie icons unite with a chocolate treat
Asembl has united Diageo’s Bundaberg Rum and Cadbury Old Gold for the first time with the launch of Cadbury Old Gold inspired by Bundaberg Rum dark chocolate block. Available now in Coles, Woolworths and independent supermarkets across Australia, the limited edition chocolate combines 45% Cadbury Old Gold dark chocolate with a Bundaberg Rum-inspired centre.
