Rescue Pops – Plums Up – was a delicious frozen fruit sorbet stick made from rescued and repurposed premium plums that were destined for landfill, but were just too good to waste.
Rescue Pops – Plums Up sorbet sticks were a delicious snack the whole family could feel good about, with all the antioxidant goodness and inherent sweetness of plums. Proving that healthy can be tasty.
Food waste in Australia is a big deal. And it’s not great.
Did you know that 7.6 million tonnes of perfectly edible food ends up in landfill in Australia each year? That’s around 312kg of waste per person!
To help tackle our country’s food waste problem, this collaboration saved plums that would have otherwise gone to landfill.
Montague Farms and Peters Ice Cream invite all Australians to reframe their thinking and perceptions of food that might appear a little different but is just as nutritious and delicious.
Let’s celebrate the beautiful and blemished, the perfectly imperfect and rescue these orchard rejects by turning them into delicious frozen fruit sorbet treats. We can all make a difference, even if it’s just by salvaging one unique fruit at a time.
Amazingly, Rescue Pops also helped fund 200,000 meals for Australians in need through Foodbank.
