WHAT’S NEWS

Halal Cer t i f icat ion on Food

We have received a number of letters from people asking if we will be putting the Muslim Halal logo on our food.

To acquire Halal certification, payment is required to the endorsing body and involves a number of site inspections of both our growers and processors in order to ensure that our practices comply with the conditions of Halal certification.

It is important to note that this does not reflect the quality of the food being processed or sold – it only means that the products are approved as being prepared in accordance with the traditions of the Muslim faith.

We are aware of an increasing number of large companies both in Australia and overseas, such as Kraft and Cadbury, who have obtained accreditation to use the Halal logo.

We don’t believe they have done this because of any religious commitment but rather for purely commercial reasons. Perhaps these large organisations can afford to do this.

While we have a choice however, we would prefer to avoid unnecessarily increasing the cost of our products in order to pay for Halal accreditation when this money would be better spent continuing to support important charitable causes where assistance is greatly needed.

Pr ice Match Promise

As a local owned independent business, IGA has always taken great pride in being part of the community and offering our customers the convenience of shopping local.

And while we know that friendly service and local convenience are important, giving you great value for money is what keeps you coming back.

That’s why we’ve introduced IGA’s Price Match*

We’ve reduced prices on 100s of everyday products to match the major national supermarket chains.

So now you won’t pay more to shop local on 100s of everyday products.

Stocking your favourite brands, supporting the community and now, reducing prices on hundreds of everyday products to match the major national supermarket chains, all adds up to more reasons to shop at IGA.

Could Coles and Woolies be forced to sel l s tores?

The Australian Federal Government is considering a range of reforms that would strengthen competition laws and regulation, and may include divestiture of major retailers, as well as measures to make it easier to prove misuse of market power.

The Agricultural Competitiveness Green Paper puts forward a range of new proposals and policy suggestions.

Minister Joyce said the Paper suggested ways to reduce Commonwealth, State and Territory regulatory burden and to improve market competition by strengthening domestic competition laws.

Current competition laws generally seek to prevent the misuse of market power and allow for collective bargaining (including by farmers) in certain circumstances, to negotiate better deals.

This could also include the creation of a supermarket ombudsman with penalty powers and a mandatory code of conduct for supermarkets (across all commodities) backed by direct financial penalties and improvements to Country of Origin Labelling to ensure that consumers clearly understand the origin of their food.

The release of the Green Paper was welcomed by farmers and by AusVeg.

Buy Austral ian made this Chr istmas

The Australian Made Campaign is encouraging consumers to shop for Australian products and produce whenever possible this Christmas, reminding Aussies of the benefits of buying local.

“It’s a fantastic time of year to shop with local businesses for genuine Aussie products and produce,” Australian Made Campaign Chief Executive, Ian Harrison said.

“Our farmers and manufacturers are among the best in the world, our health and safety standards are some of the highest in the world, and there are so many great Aussie products to choose from.”

“Buying products from overseas retailers online might save you a few dollars if the exchange rate is good, but it could be a case of ‘good luck’ regarding warranties, returns policies and the right to a refund where a product is found to be defective,” he added.

“Australia's consumer laws won’t cover those purchases, so you can end up out of pocket, or worse.”

“It’s always worth taking a little bit of time to check labels. Look for the green-and-gold Australian Made, Australian Grown logo, so you know what you’re getting, and you can be sure it’s good value for money,” Mr Harrison said.

More than 2000 businesses are registered to use the logo on over 15,000 products across a wide range of categories. Shoppers seeking out Australian Made and Australian Grown products can look for the logo in-store or online, and search the online product directory at www.australianmade.com.au/products.

ANCHOR FOODS 160TH BIRTHDAY

1854 TO TODAY. . .

Anchor Foods was proud to be celebrating its 160th anniversary in November this year. The company has built its reputation on being a first-class supplier of food products for more than six generations. Today the Anchor symbol remains a sure sign of old fashioned values and integrity.

The Anchor Foods story began in 1854 when an enterprising young mariner and merchant from the Shetland Isles, Gilbert Wood, took possession of an unpaid cargo. Where others would have seen ruin - he saw opportunity, and with great initiative, on-sold the groceries to recover debts.

Opting to leave his life on the high seas, Gilbert started his own grocery store and chose the sign of the Anchor as its symbol. From humble beginnings, the company prospered and quickly gained the reputation of being a first class supplier of quality grocery foods across Australia.

For well over 160 years the port city of Fremantle has been the home of Anchor Foods. The company continues to build on its fine traditions of integrity and reliability, bringing to you pure and trusted products. Over the years Anchor Foods acquired other iconic and famous Australian brands, such as Lighthouse, Lion, Spencers Spices.

Some of its most popular product range is the Lighthouse Special Purpose Flours which includes specially designed Bread & Pizza Plain Flour, Pasta Tipo “00” Plain Flour and Cake, Sponge & Steamed Bun Self-Raising Flour bringing the expert baker’s knowledge, to the everyday home baker.

Anchor Foods is staying true to high quality pantry essentials by always offering classic products with a contemporary twist such as the latest Consider - Lighthouse Quickbread which are quick and easy base mixes where home bakers can add everyday ingredients (such as ripe bananas, or cheese) to create the most delicious bread.

The company markets its innovative products nationally - catering to the needs of customers and educating home bakers and families to get creative in the kitchen.

These are fantastic for Boxing Day picnics or a casual lunch at home, in the garden, by the pool, or in front of a certain sporting event.

The key thing here is the chutney of course, and to get hold of a really nice crusty baguette. Not always easy on Boxing Day I know, so maybe stock up in advance and freeze one, then defrost gently. In this case, I'd serve the baguettes warm. If you have leftover turkey or ham, lucky you! Just swap this in for the chicken breast.

Boxing Day Baguet tes

Ingredients 400g free-range chicken breast 2 cloves garlic, crushedZest of one lemon2 tbsp oregano leaves, roughly chopped1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved1 zucchini, peeled horizontally2 corn cobs1 crusty baguette1 cup baby spinach leaves1 x jar Beerenberg Boxing Day Chutney

Method 1. Slice the chicken breast into

strips about 1cm thick, then place in a large ceramic or non-reactive bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then add the garlic, lemon zest and oregano and season to taste. Toss well then set aside to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes but preferably a couple of hours.

2. Preheat a frying pan on medium-high and add a little more olive oil, then cook the chicken in batches, until golden and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate, cover with foil then add a touch more oil if necessary and throw the tomatoes and zucchini into the pan. Cook, tossing often, for a few minutes

then add this mixture to the chicken. Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and cook the corn cobs for 4 minutes. Remove from heat then slice kernels from the cobs and add to the chicken mixture. Toss gently.

3. To assemble the baguette, slice horizontally across the whole bread stick, start with a layer of baby spinach, then spoon in the warm chicken mixture and finish with a nice and generous drizzle of the Beerenberg Boxing Day Chutney. Tie with string a few times along the baguette, just to keep everything together, then pack in your basket; or take to the table and cut into portions just before serving.

HEALTHY LIVING

Coconut o i l health c la ims ‘don’ t st ack up’

Coconut oil health claims ‘don’t stack up’, New Zealand Heart Foundation

The NZ Heart Foundation is advising Kiwis to continue using unsaturated plant oils rather than switching to coconut oil as their main cooking oil.

Coconut oil has recently gained popularity as a result of heavy marketing in both the US and Australasia. The NZ Heart Foundation said there was “widespread misinformation about the health benefits of coconut oil, with claims of it being a ‘superfood’”.

“Traditionally, coconut oil hasn’t been recommended because it is extremely high in saturated fat,” Researcher Dr Laurence Eyres said. “This advice remains, despite the large number of marketing claims to the contrary,”

He says switching to coconut oil was “likely to lead to less favourable lipid profiles and potential increased risk of coronary heart disease”.

“Consumers who are using a lot of coconut oil due to the current fad would be well advised to either limit its use, or to blend in some unsaturated cold-pressed oil such as olive, avocado or canola oil,” Dr Eyres said.

Key food trends for Austral ia in 2015

Researcher Mintel has predicted that 2015 would see a continued “huge” interest in superfoods and more ‘alternative’ diets and lifestyles.

Predictions are that cauliflower, brussel sprouts and amaranth will become some of the most in-demand superfoods for 2015 while new lifestyles and diets such as Paleo, Vegan, Organic, Raw, Dukin and Atkins will remain popular.

Consumers buying the latest superfoods are leading to world shortages of foods including kale and quinoa.

In 2015 consumers will increasingly seek out ‘natural’ options and local seasonal produce will only become more popular.

This is being reflected in product marketing.

According to Mintel research, all natural product claims in new products have increased from 4 per cent to 8 per cent over the last 5 years.

Almond sales have been huge for milk while new grain milks including quinoa, coconut and blends of different nuts and seeds are also increasing in popularity.

According to Ms Barnett, the percentage of products with vegan and no animal ingredients claims have doubled, from 3 per cent in 2009 to 6 per cent in 2014. Conversely, vegetarian claims have increased at a similar rate, increasing from 4 per cent to 9 per cent in the last 5 years.

Consumers will be buying less packaged foods, will demand more organic produce for a reasonable price.

“Reduction of chemicals and additives is crucial, and the use of processes such as cold pressed and raw food will be more in demand,” she said.

Ms Barnett said detoxing, and in particular juice detoxes, had been increasing in popularity .

Quitting sugar is the latest popular fad around the world, and it is particularly strong in Australia. This trend is driving increased interest in natural sweeteners like stevia.

New clue in coel iac disease puzzle : Cause of oat tox ic i t y e xplained

Researchers, from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and Monash University have identified the key components in oats that trigger an immune response in some people with coeliac disease.

They said the findings, published in November 2014 in the Journal of Autoimmunity, may lead to better tests for oat toxicity, and have implications for new treatments being developed for coeliac disease.

Coeliac disease in Australia

As many as one in 60 women and one in 80 men in Australia have coeliac disease.

People with coeliac disease must adhere to a lifelong gluten free diet that excludes wheat, barley and rye.

The question of whether oats are toxic for people with coeliac disease is controversial, but because oats contain proteins, called avenins, that are similar to gluten, oats are excluded from the gluten-free diet in Australia.

The Melbourne researchers revealed that oat consumption triggered an immune response in eight per cent of the 73 participants with coeliac disease.

The study showed oats were well tolerated by most people with coeliac disease, but in a 8% of people oat consumption could trigger immune responses.

President of Coeliac Australia, Mr Tom McLeod, said the good health of people with coeliac disease depended on strict removal of dietary gluten.

“Coeliac disease is not a dietary fad, but a serious health condition,” Mr The research was supported by Coeliac Australia, the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, BTG International plc, ImmusanT Inc. and the Victorian Government.

Negat ive at t i tude towards sugar

The backlash against sugar has changed consumer attitudes is effecting global markets,.

A Euromonitor report found the negative attitude towards sugar was driving consumers to make a conscious effort to either reduce their sweet food and drink intake, or eschew sugar completely.

It found 42 per cent of consumers seek out food labels with limited or no added sugar.

“Sugar is now seen as a health risk by most, and as toxic as tobacco by some,” a spokesman said.

In February, Mexico introduced a ground breaking tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.

Grow th focus on ‘ Junk ’ food and c igaret tes

Fairfax Media claims consumers are spending $17 nillion a year on ‘Junk’ food and cigarettes.

According to the Fairfax report of the data, Australians spend 10 per cent of the annual grocery bill on cigarettes, and one in every five dollars spent at supermarkets goes towards cigarettes or junk’ food.

Raw meat, fresh fruit and vegetables contributed $28 billion of the $85 billion market in the 2013-14 financial year.
