McCormick has developed a new organic range of spices and herbs that are packaged in see-through pouches for extra transparency.

The packets also have easy-to-read information on the provenance as well as a display listing dates of harvest, packing and best-before suggestions for freshness assessment.

The back of the packs include a scannable Chat Bot for smart access via a messenger app that connects consumers to McCormick for tips, recipes and even more product information on any of the range of seven organic herbs and spices.

The resealable pouches have also been designed with an opening that is wide enough for spoon access.

The McCormick organic spices and herbs includes chilli, cumin and tumeric from India, cinnamon from Vietnam, mixed herbs from Morocco and Egypt, oregano from Turkey and paprika from Spain.

The new range is available in Woolworths stores nationally, RRP $2.50.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
