The shell- like, bevelled lower section made from PET is closed by means of a split lid, the end of which is tapered to a point. Its hinge action means that it can be flipped up. The dish is sealed under the lid with a freshness membrane which, after flipping up the hinged lid, can be partially removed by means of a tab to free up an opening to dispense the goods. To reclose, the hinged lid is once again pressed down on to the edge of the dish where an audible click indicates that it is in place. An all-round paper label ensures that the surface of the snap lid is securely located on the container and also carries the retail data. www.samba-nuts.de Stevia as liquid sweetener 125ml of liquid sweetener on a stevia base is being bottled in a transparent PET bottle by borch- ers fine food GmbH / Germany.

The handy bottle is sealed with a dispensing closure and topped with a metering cap.

A wrap around paper label completes the pack- aging. www.bff-feinkost.de/bff-ste via- fluessigsuesse-125-ml.html The green smoothie Innocent – the company name stands for smoothies and juices – recently launched a green smoothie under the name of “Unser Grüner“ (“Our green one”) on the market. The so-called “fruit for drinking” consists of a pressed apple, a few grapes, half a kiwi fruit, a slice of pineap- ple, a dash of lime juice, spinach and stinging nettle extract. This time they have dispensed with the frequently used banana as an ingredient. The product, with a content of 250ml, is bottled in the transparent PET bottle typical of the brand and featuring a coloured screw-on lid complete with tamper guarantee strip and a wraparound paper label. www.innocentdrinks.de Gerolsteiner with chai tea & pomegranate In April 2015 Gerolsteiner’s “moment“ product line underwent a relaunch.
