Georgia Fink, brand manager of Bega Peanut Butter, said, “The end of a school year can be chaotic, but hopefully this playful pairing between Andy Griffiths and Bill Hope’s You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast and Bega Peanut Butter brings a moment of delicious fun to family routines. It’s a celebration of creativity and imagination and we love that peanut butter is part of that!”

Andy Griffiths said, “I can’t think of a more perfect partner for You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast than Bega and their brilliant peanut butter which, as luck would have it, happens to be the Peanut Butter Beast’s favourite brand of PEANUD BUDDARRRR 9its exact words). Bill and I are confident that with Bega behind the book we’ll not only win the hearts and minds of our readers, but their stomachs as well!”

Bill Hope said, “I am a consumer of Bega Peanut Butter of the tablespoon-at-a-time-no-bread variety. So, this collaboration has been the perfect way to cement the Peanut Butter Beast in our hearts and in our stomachs but mostly in our stomachs.”

Bega Peanut Butter’s No Added range retains the same Never Oily, Never Dry texture as its original peanut butter, with no added sugar or salt.

You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast is a new tale from Griffiths and Hope, following an imaginative adventure about friendship, fantasy and a peanut butter beast.

The limited-edition jars will be available in major supermarkets nationwide from early October, while stocks last.

The Middle East conflict is at the centre of how consumers across the Asia Pacific region are rethinking what value means, according to Mintel’s latest regional report. For manufacturers, APAC Food and Drink Landscape 2026, looks at the export markets that impacted FY26 results and the input and freight costs still working through the system.

Noumi has lifted net revenue 8.8 per cent to $648.4 million and adjusted operating EBITDA 7.6 per cent to $61.8 million in FY26, in what is likely its final full year result as a listed company.

Bega Group returned to profit in FY26, reversing the $8.5 million loss in FY25 as two years of manufacturing rationalisation took effect. Revenue rose 6.7 per cent to $3.77 billion and statutory EBITDA lifted 22.2 per cent to $202.3 million.
