Company Assessment

PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Anchor Foods Pty Ltd
Environment 4/5 for packaging performance
This company received a packaging performance level of 4 (Leading) in its 2022 APCO Annual Report. Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is a not-for-profit organisation leading the development of a circular economy for packaging in Australia. Each year, APCO Members are required to submit an APCO Annual Report and Action Plan, which includes an overall performance level from 1 (Getting Started) to 5 (Beyond Best Practice).

Social Adulterated oregano
In April 2016 Choice tested oregano samples from 12 brands and found that only 5 were 100% oregano. The other seven, including a brand from this company, contained between 50% and 90% ingredients other than oregano, such as olive leaves. Choice referred the matter to the ACCC. As a result this company has agreed to only use 100% oregano and undertake regular testing. (http://bit.ly/2hy8ChE)
