Australian brand The No Nasties Project has launched its innovative new Choc Hazelnut Spread on supermarket shelves, just in time for back to school.
The No Nasties Project new Choc Hazelnut Spread is set to re-define how Australians consume choc spreads in family homes across the country with the product containing “50% less sugar than competitors and is also proudly Palm Oil free,” according to the brand.
“Not only is this week an important week as our kids head back to school, but the 1st of February is also Palm Oil Free Day. We are dedicated to providing healthier options for Australian kids and the environment,” says founder and CEO David Andrew.
Palm oil is an exceptionally common ingredient in many Aussie supermarket products and in many kids’ lunchboxes. According to a recent article, the deforestation caused by palm oil plantations in tropical climates accounts for 10% of total manmade global CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Zoos Victoria goes further and estimates 1000 orangutans die each year as a result of their habitat being destroyed through unsustainable palm oil production.
“The No Nasties Project is palm oil free as we believe that it is the only way to ensure that we don’t damage the future of our rainforests globally,” says Mr Andrew.
“We believe that small choices make a big impact such as choosing palm oil free products in the supermarket. It’s our duty as global citizens to address the issues that we have created for the world. We see the damage the industry has done on the environment and have provided an eco-friendlier alternative without compromising the unmistakable taste of a high quality choc hazelnut spread”.
According to the company, “the No Nasties Project Choc hazelnut spread has 50% less sugar than the market leading variant, zero palm oil, no Maltitol and nothing artificial. The brand is serious about reducing sugar in Aussie diets, aiming to remove over 500 tons of sugar per year through Project 500 and is dedicated to contributing to a better future for all Australians”.
The No Nasties Project Choc Hazelnut Spread is available at Woolworths and Coles nationally.
