Australian health food and drinks producer Emma & Tom’s new Look After Others water packaging is sporting the Foodbank logo. The brand owner has partnered with Foodbank Victoria and will be donating a portion of its sales to support the fight against hunger.

Foodbank Victoria CEO Dave McNamara said the partnership allows Foodbank Victoria to close the gap and provide more Victorians access to healthy food.

“Our research shows the demand for food relief is increasing. We’re already helping about 140,000 Victorians every month who can’t put food on the table, but there are another 8,000 potentially missing out because we need more resources to reach them,” said McNamara.

“We’re thrilled to have Emma & Tom’s on board to help support our food relief efforts and see this as a great alignment of the values underpinning both our organisation.

Emma & Tom’s was established in 2004 and has since made it a priority to donate products to local and national food charities regularly.

Emma & Tom’s co-founder Emma Welsh said the team was excited to launch a product dedicated to supporting the important work by Foodbank Victoria.

“We have always believed that part of being in business is to give back to our community,” said Welsh

“With stockists Australia wide, we are inspiring our dedicated customers to help raise awareness and join the fight against hunger on a national scale.”

Emma & Tom’s Look After Others water is packed in 100 per cent recycled PET bottles, and has no BPA. It will be available online, at selected supermarkets and café stockists.

Food & Drink Business

Oat Milk Goodness (OMG) Group’s Barista Oat Milk will now be available in over 350 additional Woolworths supermarkets from November, with the brand receiving a notice of distribution increase for its popular oat milk.

The impact of Woolworths reducing Ingham’s supply contract became clear on Friday, when the country’s largest chicken processor presented its FY25 results and reported a 10.2 per cent drop in net profits to $89.8 million. Revenue was $3.1 billion, a drop of 1.5 per cent.

Bega Group reported $3.5 billion in revenue for FY25, with $165 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). But restructuring costs from “transformational business improvement initiatives” impacted the business.
