The brand also recently brought out a White Dipped Twirl that combines white and milk chocolate. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Kerry racing mishap that featured a double Derby winner
But what few could have known while watching that eventful race is the eventual winner would go on to become a double Derby champion, with Lambourn the horse taking advantage of Green Triangle's mishap in the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Race. It proved an inauspicious start for Lambourn considering the post-race hysteria focused on why Green Triangle and his jockey, Wayne Hassett, left the race behind them. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Lambourn, by the sire Australia, has since gone on to great things by winning the Epsom Derby and Irish Derby – the only horse to win the prestigious Derby double having won his first race as a juvenile in Killarney. Lambourn has shot the lights out this season by winning three of his four starts. But true prominence was achieved on June 7 when winning the Derby at Epsom. This was capitalised on with an even more impressive display in Sunday's Irish Derby at the Curragh. It's not the first Derby winner to make an impression at Killarney Races as its July Festival has a solid record when it comes to producing classic success. The 2019 Epson Derby winner, Anthony Van Dyck, started out when winning the Stallion Farms EBF Maiden in Killarney in 2018. The 2017 Epsom Derby winner, Wings of Eagles, won the Ireland Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden as a juvenile at Killarney, while Irish Champion Stakes winner (2022), Luxemburg, also won his first race in Killarney a year earlier.

Forestry companies shift focus to pine to meet demand for housing timber
An increasing demand for timber to meet Australia's housing targets is set to drive a change in focus for one of Australia's largest forestry regions. The Green Triangle, situated across the southern South Australia-Victorian border, has about 334,000 hectares of plantations, representing 17 per cent of Australia's forestry industry. The region grows a mix of softwood timber, primarily used in domestic construction, and hardwood, which is often exported as wood chips and used in paper manufacturing. But as Australia looks to meet its goal of building 1.2 million new homes by 2029, investment in softwood is growing fast. "Both the state and the federal governments have incentives in place for industry and private investors to grow radiata pine," University of Melbourne forest ecologist Rod Keenan said. "We are seeing an increasing area of pine being established now, and that's aimed at meeting that future need for timber for housing construction." On Wednesday, Mount Gambier-based OneFortyOne announced it had purchased about 15,000ha of existing plantations in the Green Triangle and Western Australia. The land was previously owned by investment management firm New Forests. Hardwood blue gum plantations make up about 75 per cent of that new purchase. OneFortyOne chief executive Wendy Norris said the company planned to convert the majority into softwood radiata pine within the next five years. "The sawlog timber we're growing from our radiata pine is really high quality and the domestic market wants it," she said. OneFortyOne also owns one of the largest timber processing mills in the region, which processes softwood for construction timber. While housing demand is driving public and private investment in softwoods, Ms Norris said carbon credits played a role in planting more pine. "Bluegum grows for about seven years and when you convert to radiata pine you grow your growing cycle to about 30 years," she said. "You store a lot more carbon in the tree when you grow it for that long and you earn more carbon credits. "That's part of the economic decision when you convert from blue gum to long-term renewable pine plantations." Professor Keenan said climate change and drying conditions would play a role in forestry's future. "The blue gums are typically quite water-hungry and some of the sites they were planted on are probably not that suitable for blue gum these days and becoming less suitable as the climate becomes drier," he said. "The radiata pine is more tolerant of those dry conditions, so by replacing blue gum with pine, we're likely to see more resilient plantations to climate change." South Australian Forest Products Association chief executive Nathan Paine said OneFortyOne's purchase bucked a recent trend. "Over the past decade, when there have been large sales, we've seen that land revert to general agriculture and we've lost those forests," he said. "It's a shot in the arm for these 21,300 South Australians who work directly and indirectly in forest industries in Australia." Despite an industry trend towards timber for housing, Mr Paine said there was a future for blue gum in Australia. "There has been a view more generally that hardwood or blue gum doesn't yield the same job multiplier in terms of the jobs that go to processing the trees and producing the products we need," he said. "What industry is doing, though, is actually investing heavily in the alternatives to using blue gum domestically. "I don't think we should underestimate the importance of bluegum fibre in a lot of products we use."
