Burst U.S. Embassy Prepared by: Hassall & Associates Report Highlights: The major snack food brands in Australia are dominated by large food processing companies, the majority of which are owned by U.S. multinationals. Opportunities for large scale exports of packaged snack food products to the Australian retail sector are limited. The ingredients market for snack foods may offer greater opportunities for U.S. exporters than the retail market, particularly for those products targeted towards nutritional snacks. The best prospects in the snack food sector appear to be seasonings, flavors, cooking oils, thickeners, processed fruit and nuts, and possibly yogurt probiotics.
