Access to food is a now a major concern in Tonga, where estimates suggest more than half of the island nation's food crops have been damaged.

Cyclone Winston caused strong winds and heavy rain in Tonga as a category two storm before the cyclone moved away, strengthened and returned to Tonga later in the same week causing further damage.

The Whittaker’s Artisan Collection is a range of six 100g blocks for chocolate lovers, featuring local ingredients sourced from the Pacific and New Zealand.

The Heilala vanilla extract added to Lewis Road Creamery’s Premium Whole Milk creates a New Zealand first, Fresh Vanilla Milk, stated the Heilala Vanilla company.

Heilala Vanilla this week joins Lewis Road Creamery’s Premium Whole Milk dream team in selected supermarkets and specialty food stores.
