Herber t Adams Slow-Cooked range - gourmet qual i t y in the supermarket f reezer

If you think supermarket pies are...well, supermarket pies...think again. The Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked range of meat pies has arrived – delivering quality as good as, if not better than, boutique bakery offerings.

We all know the benefits of slow-cooking, to make meat tender and tasty. The Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked range uses choice cuts of chunky beef, slow-cooked for 8 hours, to achieve a new level of tenderness and flavour.

There are three delicious flavours in the Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked Beef range – Chunky Beef, Beef & Pepper, and Beef & Mushroom.

And recently, Herbert Adams added to the Slow-Cooked range a pie featuring 100% Australian lamb. The Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked Lamb & Rosemary pie tastes as good as a slow-cooked Sunday roast.

While shoppers can now find the Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked range in their supermarket freezer, the pies really are a quality more often associated with boutique gourmet bakeries. In fact, the Herbert Adams Slow-Cooked range was awarded several medals at last year’s Great Aussie Pie Competition, against artisan bakeries Australia wide.

One of Australia’s original gluten free manufacturers, ORGRAN, is celebrating their 30th year of making healthy, nutritious foods. Over the past 30 years they have grown to become the biggest manufacturer of gluten free foods in Australia.

From humble beginnings, two brothers began a small scale food preparation and retailing operation in Melbourne. Their primary interest was focused on human health and the degenerative effects some of the generic foods we consume have on our health. Long before they became commonplace in our café’s and pantries, ORGRAN were using superfoods such as quinoa, buckwheat and millet to make their own alternative grains pastas to help people improve their health and nutrition.

As the company grew, the brothers continued to work towards their ambition of developing and producing healthier foods offering alternative grain nutrition. As their knowledge grew about the unique beneficial properties of the various gluten free grains and legumes, so did the product range they offered.

The brother’s quest for nutritional integrity ensured that only natural ingredients were used. To accomplish this mission they pioneered a dedicated gluten free manufacturing facility that maintained total control of cross contamination risks. Tight control of ingredients, storage and manufacturing meant they could ensure they meet the strict Australian guidelines of “No detectable Gluten” in their products. Orgran aim to source all of their ingredients, materials and services locally wherever possible. This is not only to support Australian businesses but also is an assurance of quality and traceability. It is this dedication to quality control that has meant that from small beginnings, the brothers have built Australia’s largest range of gluten free products, and their once small company has become Australia’s largest manufacturer of gluten free pasta, breakfast cereals, crispbreads, baking products, cake mixes, biscuits and snacks.

In many other countries around the world there is less stringent quality assurance in food manufacturing. So it is no surprise that ORGRAN is now exported to, and trusted by, customers in over 55 counties around the world.

ORGRAN is still a 100% Australian, family owned business, is still manufactured here in Australia and continues to be the leader in this field. With over 80 products that are all gluten free, wheat free, egg free, dairy free, yeast free, GMO free and vegan, ORGRAN has the largest range of gluten free products on the market to cater for every meal of the day. It is the total solution for retailers who know they can cater for all their customers’ needs with a brand they know they can trust.

About the Austral ia Made , Austral ian Grown Logo

The AMAG logo supports growers, processors and manufacturers in Australia by helping businesses to clearly identify to consumers that their products are Australian. At the same time it provides consumers with a highly recognised and trusted symbol for genuine Aussie products and produce. It does both of these things in conjunction with a campaign encouraging consumers to look for the logo when shopping; it has been doing this since its introduction by the federal Government in 1986.

The AMAG logo can only be used on products that are registered with the not-for-profit organisation Australian Made Campaign Limited. The strict set of rules governing the logo’s use also require that it must always be used with one of five descriptors; ‘Australian Made’, ‘Australian Grown’, ‘Product of Australia’, ‘Australian Seafood’ or ‘Australian’ (for export use only). To use the logo goods must meet the criteria set out in the Australian Consumer Law as well the more stringent Australian Made, Australian Grown Logo Code of Practice. More than 2100 businesses are registered to use the AMAG logo, which can be found on some 15,000 products sold here and around the world.

Australian Made Campaign Limited is located at Suite 105, 161 Park Street, South Melbourne, VIC 3205.

Suppor t grows for family businesses

Two powerful influences in Australian industry, Family Business Australia and the Australian Made Campaign, are coming together in partnership to help foster business collaboration and offer improved access to resources.

According to a 2013 parliamentary committee report*, approximately 70 per cent of Australian businesses are family businesses, many of which manufacture and grow the products they sell in Australia.

Australian Made Campaign Chief Executive, Ian Harrison, said that because both organisations shared the same goal of helping those businesses achieve success, it made sense for the two organisations to be aligned.

“The more we collaborate to help support Aussie growers and manufacturers, the better their chances of succeeding will be – the Australian Made Campaign is very much a collective effort, so the more businesses involved, the stronger the impact,” Mr Harrison said.

Roy Morgan Research shows increasingly, Australian shoppers want to buy locally made and grown goods, and the desire to support local businesses plays a key role in that.

The green-and-gold Australian Made, Australian Grown kangaroo logo is the only registered country-of-origin certification trade mark for the full range of genuine Australian products and produce.

The easiest way to find great Aussie products and produce is to look for the logo in- store, or search the online product directory at www.australianmade.com.au/products.

New countr y of or ig in labels for food

The Federal Government has announced a new plan for all locally produced food products to carry a mandatory ‘Australian content’ symbol, to help shoppers identify where they come from. The proposal comes in the wake of a national recall of imported frozen berries contaminated with hepatitis A.

The initiative has been welcomed by the Australian Made Campaign, which has also welcomed the Government’s move to consult with stakeholders and consumers before implementing the new labelling scheme.

“This is a very important initiative of the Government and it is imperative therefore that it gets it right,” Australian Made Campaign Chief Executive, Ian Harrison said.

“The Australian Made Campaign applauds the Ministers for Agriculture and Industry making country-of-origin branding a priority and looks forward to working closely with the Government on the introduction of the new system.”

It is believed the Ministers will be submitting further recommendations to Cabinet in August on changes to the current labelling laws, and what the proposed new symbol will look like.

“Australian Made has submitted comment to and appeared before a number of Government Committees on country-of-origin labelling in recent years and it is great to finally see traction in this important area of Government policy,” Mr Harrison said.

The not-for-profit Australian Made Campaign administers and promotes the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo, Australia’s registered country-of-origin certification trade mark for all classes of Australian goods.

The rules for using the logo on food products are more stringent than the rules for making country-of-origin claims under Australian Consumer Law. The Australian Made Campaign has been lobbying for that gap to be closed, and an education program to be rolled out to help increase understanding of country-of-origin claims and the value proposition of buying Australian made and Australian grown products.

“A tighter system for food labelling, coupled with a better understanding of that system by consumers, will give Aussie shoppers more confidence in what they are purchasing,” Mr Harrison said.

“A widespread education campaign will be an essential component of the revised system.

“There is also an obvious role for the Australian Made, Australian Grown logo. It has been helping Australian farmers and manufacturers sell genuine Aussie products to consumers all around the world for nearly three decades. It makes good sense to build on that.”

After years of arguing about what constitutes “Australian” branding a new group of industry and farmers have split off with their own proposal for a new logo for products made in Australian for export markets.

This is yet another waste of resources that could be better served by all punters backing the same horse - Australian Made, Australian Grown.

Instead the National Farmers' Federation (NFF) and Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) plan to work together over the next twelve months to expand the use of the “True Aussie” brand across a broader range of Australian agricultural products.

Their goal is to see all Australian food sold overseas using a single international brand and logo. The phrase "True Aussie" is already used on meat exports

"For too long we have negatively competed and marketed against each other, state against state or company against company,” said beef baron and mining baron Mr Twiggy Forrest in the support of the initiative.

How ironic that he should say that when it he who is working against the Australian Made Australian Grown program that has been extolling the virtues of Australian products locally and overseas for more than 25 years.

Australian manufacturers and farmers need to support a single logo with a powerful message that is identifiable around the world - and we have the kangaroo symbol which is both powerful and established and has a visual statement that doesn' t need people to understand English or cartography.

Self interest over Nat ional interest

Grant's RantBy Grant Müller | Editor

N E W S

Right now consumers and export markets are confused by the number of products and brands claiming to be Australian Made or Grown or Owned with different requirements and qualifications and the Federal Government is struggling to deal with new labeling laws to ensure we all understand what it means when we buy locally made products.

The Australian Made symbol has been serving us well and is a growing brand supported by advertising, marketing and the support of some of Australia’s most successful producers.

There are some minor competitors out there trying to provide a more “budget” approach, and other businesses create their own logos to avoid the Australian Made fees, but it covers its task well and the logo is now used by more than 1900 businesses on over 10,000 products sold in Australia and export markets around the world.

Perhaps the Federal Government - the ultimately owns the AMAG symbol - needs to get behind the certification and fund the business - as they once did - so it can be the leading Australian symbol in global markets and accessible to even more brands.

Australin Made CEO Ian Harrison is a leading voice in the campaign for Country of Origin labelling and a range of other important issues designed to highlight Australian made food products and manufactured goods.

The sooner we get a single entity that works toward a common goal of marketing Australian products both here and overseas the better it will be for our economy.

Australia needs to protect its IP and image in world markets to stop foreign manufacturers cashing in on our premium branding. A single approved logo on all exports would ensure a continuity of branding and counterfeiting would be more difficult.

We need to stop promoting self interest over national interest.

Roast Lamb Leg Cook and Car ve

Ingredients

2 Thomas Farms lamb leg3 cloves garlic, sliced lengthways2 rosemary branches, leaves removedSalt and pepper 1/4 cup flourUp to 2 cups beef stockSalt and pepper, as required

Method Preheat oven to 180OC

With a small shape knife, pierce the lamb every 3cm or so. Stuff each incision with a slice of garlic and a few rosemary leaves. Sprinkle the roast with salt and ground black pepper.

Roast for 1 1/4 -1 1/2 hours for medium lamb. A rule of thumb for lamb is 15 minutes, then 15 minutes per 500g. Remove from the oven and rest in the pan under foil for 15 minutes before serving.

Gravy Drain some but not all of the fat and use the pan juices to make the gravy.

Stir the flour into the pan juices, ensuring there are no lumps.

Place the pan over a medium heat and introduce the beef stock little by little. Bring to the boil.

Taste and season. Pour into serving jug.

CarvingPlace the leg on a carving board and hold it firmly. Remove two or three slices from the thin side, cutting parallel to the length of the leg.

Turn the roast so that it rests on the cut surface, which forms a base. About 12cm up from the bottom end, remove a small wedge shaped piece of meat.

Starting at the wedge, cut slices about 2cm thick, working vertically to the bone. Cut through the meat to the bone. Then, starting at the wedge, cut horizontally along the bone to release the slices.

Australian Bacon Week 21 - 27 June 2015

While many people believe Australian bacon is higher quality and tastes better, most are unaware that more than two thirds of bacon on Australian supermarket shelves is made from imported pork.

Australian Bacon Week, which is taking place this June, is designed to draw attention to this fact and at the same time celebrate and promote bacon made from 100% Australian pork.

Most imported pork comes from countries where production is subsidised, with Australia receiving the excess product, and it is then heat treated and processed here before it can be sold.

At the same time, food labeling can be confusing, which means many people are unaware of this.

Bacon made from 100% Australian pork ensures you’re getting a high quality, great tasting product which meets our strong food health and safety standards and supports Australian farmers.

For more information visit www.australianpork.com.au or to find bacon made using 100% Australian pork look for the pink Australian PorkMark and support Australian farmers.

On Friday 5 June 2015 we celebrated WorldEnvironment Day, now a much-celebrated event with aglobal focus to remind people from around the world about their environmental footprint and to encourage positive changes toward sustainability.

This Years moto was “Seven Billion Dreams, one planet. Consume With Care.”

This Year the official World Environment Day Expo was held in Milan, Italy with a host of nations showcasing their ideas and visions for progress in the areas of sustainability and biodiversity.

Mr. Achim Steiner, Executive Director of UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) opened the Expo, with a reminder to all that every decision matters.

“World Environment Day, which we are celebrating today, provides the opportunity to remind ourselves and the world that individual action does matter. It is our personal choices that shape the world.

This is apparent in the theme of this year's event, which focuses on the need to transform unsustainable consumption and production patterns - a set of global practices that account for

Orange Power D ishwash Concentrate

After years of development working alongside Planet Ark, Orange Power is very proud to announce the arrival of the newest member of its cleaning product family - Orange Power Dishwash Concentrate.

The sensitive formula is good news for the environment, for your family, and for the countless number of orangutans and other endangered species who lose their homes to rainforest destruction every year.

Not only 100% palm oil free, Orange Power Dishwash Concentrate is also 100% free of the nasties used in many other dishwashing liquids, including ‘sodium alkyl aryl sulfonate’, which is made with chemicals derived from petroleum, and ‘Coco DEA’, which the U.S government actually placed onto a warning list due to it’s potential to form cancerous cells.

Orange Power’s Dishwash Concentrate is safe for septics and grey water systems.

the majority of economic activities in the world and feed into every environmental challenge we face.

The slogan for this year, chosen by public vote, sums this up perfectly: Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume With Care. Our daily decisions as consumers and producers, multiplied by billions, have a colossal impact on the environment. Some of them contribute to the further depletion of natural resources, others help to protect fragile ecosystems. Each time, the choice is ours.”

Mr.Steiner went on to say that World Environment Day is not a day to think about what we can do, we should think about it everyday. World Environment Day is a celebration of the great initiatives from around the world that are making change for the better.
