McVitie's. Yum. And then some.

Mouthwatering biscuits and snacking treats with wonderfully weird names that taste oh, so good.

Bickie backstory! An enterprising baker by the name of Robert McVitie began baking our wholesome, wheaty biscuits in the UK in 1830. In fact, our secret recipe for the original McVitie's Digestive from 1892 is the same one we use today. McVitie's is now loved worldwide and has been tantalising Aussie tastebuds for a couple of decades now.

Original Digestives

Fast forward. We now have a growing range of oh-my-goodness-they’re-delicious treats across Australia ready to be loved and shared. (Or eaten on their own. No judgement here.)

Digestives

Wholeseome. Meet delicious. McVitie's Digestives are the perfect treat with their classic wheaty taste and crumbly golden baked texture. Add a coating of velvety milk or dark chocolate, or make them delicately thin, and you've got something sweet and sublime. Just add your favourite hot drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product is out of date; what should I do?

The fact that the product was sold beyond the indicated date is the responsibility of the retailer and we would recommend that you return the product to the shop from where it was purchased together with the purchase receipt.

Why is it that for some products the packaging can be larger than the product?

The packaging of our products is under constant review and great care, attention and research is given to the development of new packaging. Our first concern is to ensure that the product is effectively protected against damage or contamination in transit. We also aim to package our products in ways which reflect how people prefer to use them.

We take our responsibilities for the environment very seriously and try to balance all aspects of protection, presentation, promotion and cost as carefully as we can. We certainly never aim to wrap our products in more packaging than is necessary to give them maximum protection as this would add to the cost for both ourselves and the consumer.

Can your packaging be recycled?

In the case of cardboard, such as cartons or paper, this can be recycled through normal recycling facilities.

In addition, we’re members of the UK Plastics Pact, and we’re working with our industry partners to make all our plastic packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.

Do any of your products contain alcohol?

Should alcohol be used as a direct ingredient, for example within the recipe for a Christmas cake line within the cream flavouring, this would be clearly labelled within the list of ingredients.

Occasionally however, it is possible that trace amounts can be used purely as a carrier in a flavour used in our products. The amount within the product is minute; however if you have any concerns for your diet or require any further information then please contact us.

How do I know if a product is suitable for vegetarians?

For any of our products that are suitable for a vegetarian diet the recognised vegetarian logo will be displayed on the pack near to the pack weight and barcode.

Do you provide product lists for consumers who have a dietary requirement?

No. If you have a nutritional or dietary query, please contact us.

Do you use GMO in your products?

We use only non-GM ingredients in our products. As a responsible food manufacturer, our priority is to assure the safety and quality of the ingredients it uses. Since 1997 we have:

Where necessary, substituted soya and maize ingredients with non-GM alternatives.
Where substitution was inappropriate, pladis UK & Ireland has sourced ingredients from traditional, identity preserved crops – i.e. non-GM crops.

The integrity of our policy is backed by a rigorous inspection process which covers all aspects of supply – from field to factory.

Despite the audit trail, accidental or inadvertent presence of GM material can still occur in a non-GM crop. This can occur through transference in nature – e.g. via wind borne pollen or it can happen accidentally. To date, we have opted not to label products as non-GM even though it could make many of the specific non-GM claims made publicly by others.

Do you use palm oil? If so, is this sustainable palm oil?

Palm oil is widely used for a variety of reasons, and is one of the most productive crops per hectare compared to alternatives. That said, we regularly review our raw materials to ensure we are using the most appropriate raw materials to deliver the quality required across our range of snacks.

At Pladis UK and Ireland we take the sourcing of all our raw materials seriously. We have been a member of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) organisation since 2008 and have been using 100% RSPO-certified palm oil since 2009. We recognise as a responsible business we need to continue to support the industry on its transformation journey; in addition to purchasing RSPO-certified palm oil, in 2018 pladis UK and Ireland became members of The Forest Trust.

Are your products suitable for coeliacs?

Unfortunately, many of our products are not suitable as they contain cereal or flour based ingredients. For more information, please contact us.

Why do you discontinue lines?

There are a number of reasons why this might happen. Some common reasons are that some products are removed from sale by retail outlets as they do not reach the rate of sale required to maintain viability on shelf. Unfortunately, in many cases we are unable to influence this. A long standing product may also be discontinued due to a falling off of popularity, resulting in it no longer being a viable product to produce.
