Indian food brand Patak's has added a range of portion-sized Paste Pots to its product line-up to improve convenience and reduce food waste.

Patak’s brand owner Associated British Foods says the new single-pot offering can create a meal for two without any fuss or wastage.

The pots each include at least 11 spices which are ground, blended, and preserved in oil to retain flavour.

The pots come in flavours of Korma, Tikka Masala, and Madras, and the range has an RRP of $4 each, and is now sold in Woolworths and IGA stores.

Food & Drink Business

Inghams has returned to volume growth with reduced dependence on Woolworths but net profit fell 61.5 per cent to $34.6 million as input cost inflation, first half production inefficiencies and a tax provision weighed on FY26 earnings.

Endeavour Group’s decision to reset shelf prices at Dan Murphy’s has restored sales momentum but taken a heavy toll on earnings, with annual profit down 87.8 per cent to $52 million for FY26 after $372 million in pre-tax significant items covering restructuring, asset writedowns and the exit from its winery portfolio.

Food and beverage businesses that delay adopting AI, precision agriculture, digital modelling and fermentation technologies risk being locked out of the commercial opportunities attached to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a new perspective paper from Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA) says.
