New Vegemite

On 7th July 2009, 85 years after the original was launched, a second Vegemite spread will be available in all major grocery chains. This will be sold along side the original [Vegemite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite] product, which remains unchanged.

Vegemite’s new variant offers a different eating experience and is designed for eating any time of the day to be spread on crackers, crisp breads, celery or carrot sticks. The ingredients include cream cheese, which gives it a more velvety texture, but it is not a cheesy flavoured vegemite. It tastes like Vegemite & butter.

The new product is to be launched without a name, with Kraft Foods asking Australians to suggest a name for it. This is repeating history as Vegemite original was named by the public in 1923. Australians will be able to submit their product name suggestions from the 5th July.

The new Vegemite variant will be made in Australia.

From 5th July, one million samples will be distributed across the country.
