Cold Rock Ice Creamery has launched its vegan-friendly tub of cookie dough which is designed to be eaten either raw or cooked. This marks the ice cream chain’s first time venturing into the FMCG market. The product is available in Cold Rock Ice Creamery stores now.
2. Mushroom burrito filling
Guzman y Gomez’s newest filling is a vegetarian option developed with the plant-based protein company Fable Food Co. The shredded shiitake mushroom filling is seasoned with Guzman y Gomez’s authentic Mexican flavours and has no artificial flavours, preservatives, additives or colours.
3. Prebiotic wholefood bar
Brookfarm’s Prebiotic Wholefood Bars have been developed to be a nutritious and energy-boosting snack, packed with prebiotic nuts and seeds for a healthy gut. Available in three flavours (almond and cinnamon; chocolate, almond and coconut; and salted caramel and almond), they are low sugar and have sustainably sourced ingredients, with extra zinc for an immune system boost. The bars are free from preservatives, additives and are non-GMO.

One of the UK’s favourite gins has arrived on Australian shores. Silent Pool Gin is said to be inspired by English folklore and is distilled with 24 botanicals in a four-stage distillation process. Described as being full-bodied, fresh and clear, this gin contains no artificial ingredients or flavours and received a double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
