The packaging is designed to help the product stand out in what Bega describes as a “highly competitive” spreads category. The tub uses a “disruptive colour system”, dynamic typography, and product texture as visual cues to communicate the whipped format to consumers, according to the company.

The whipped peanut butter is positioned as a spoonable, lighter alternative to traditional peanut butter, intended for dipping, topping, or eating directly from the container. Bega says the new format offers “fresh consumption occasions” for a well-established pantry staple.

Food & Drink Business

Murray Cod Australia (MCA) reported a record 175.9 tonnes of fish sold in 1H27, lifting sales volume by 45.7 per cent. Net sales rose 34.2 per cent to $3.92 million, as it shifts away from using seafood distributors.

The Beverage Reconciliation Industry Network Group (RING) has seen major beverage companies join forces to help First Nations businesses build connections with corporate procurement teams during Indigenous Business Month. The partners include: Asahi Beverages, Australian Venue Co., Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Coles Group, Diageo, Endeavour Group, LION and Suntory Oceania.

Coles has cut its first half earnings outlook for Supermarkets to flat, citing higher fuel-related supplier costs and heavier competitor promotions, even as own brand and online sales kept growing.
