Uncle Tobys Foods Pty Ltd provided a section 87B undertaking to the ACCC in relation to representations made in the marketing of its Roll-Ups products.
The ACCC had concerns that representations were made on the packaging and in a television advertisement for Roll-Ups were false or misleading and may breach sections 52, 53(a) and 55 of the TPA.
Uncle Tobys has undertaken to the ACCC that in the future it will not:
represent that Roll-Ups (as currently composed) are 'Made with 65% real fruit';
list on the ingredients panel that a Roll-Up (as currently composed) is equivalent to a specified percentage of fresh fruit;
run the advertisement which shows images of an apple being flattened into a Roll-Up (the Roll-Ups Reels Fruit Shrink advertisement); and
make representations that Roll-Ups are made by converting a piece of fruit into a strip with minimal processing or without further processing or other ingredients added.
Uncle Tobys has also undertaken to the ACCC that it will:
publish an article for the food industry on the importance of accurate advertising; and
review and implement recommended changes to its trade practices compliance program in relation to Roll-Ups.

Legend Australia Holdings Pty Ltd (Legend) has provided a court enforceable undertaking to the ACCC in respect to representations concerning its Logan & Mason ‘Ultima’ goose down quilts.
Legend has represented to consumers that its Logan & Mason ‘Ultima’ quilts contain 100% goose down. It is widely acknowledged in the down products industry that it is highly unlikely that 100% down content could be achieved under normal commercial manufacturing processes.
ACCC testing of a Legend ‘Ultima’ quilt represented as containing 100% goose down showed that the quilt contained significantly less goose down than the represented 100%. The ‘Ultima’ quilt was calculated to contain 83.9% goose down (with no additional duck down).
Legend advised the ACCC that its 100% down content claims were made in reliance on test reports from its overseas supplier and on labelling percentage ‘tolerances’ allowed under the Australian Standard 2479-1987 (Down and/or feather filling materials and filled products), and that it had not intended to mislead or deceive consumers.
Legend has undertaken to:
not promote that its ‘Ultima’ or other down products that it supplies contain 100% down, given that normal commercial manufacturing processes are very unlikely to achieve this percentage of down content;
not make any other down content percentage representations which include any percentage tolerance or allowance;
not make any down content percentage representations that it cannot substantiate by way of periodic testing of a representative sample of its finished down products by International Down & Feather Bureau (IDFB) approved testing methods for down and feather products;
place corrective newspaper advertisements in each State and Territory in which its ‘Ultima’ quilts represented as containing 100% goose down have been sold; and
establish a trade practices compliance program.
