Australian brands are tame on Valentine's Day in comparison to some of our global counterparts.

Burger King Israel, for example, has gone to the extent of offering a limited edition adults-only meal box.

The 'Valentine's Adult's Meal' packaging, which echoes its range of kids' meals, is only for those over 18 and includes two Whoppers, two boxes of French fries, two beers, and a feather duster, blindfold, or head massager.  

In a promotion, the chain said:

"Kids have got their ‘Kid’s Meal’ but what about grown-ups? Shouldn’t they have their own meal too? At least on Valentine’s?”

Mars has also celebrated the occasion, albeit in a less saucy way, by issuing this special edition Snickers bar for 14 February.

Over the past month, three international infant formula manufacturers have had to issue global recalls for specific product batches, due to the potential presence of the toxin cereulide. As investigations continue, more batches are being added to the list. Food safety is critical, particularly for vulnerable consumers, but who is responsible for ensuring products are up to standards?

Indian FMCG company, Reliance Consumer Products (RCP), has entered the Australian market by acquiring a majority stake in local better-for-you beverage business, Goodness Group Global.
