1. Introduction and Description

• Current Text: "AussieMite is an Australian Yeast Extract savoury food spread. Its primary uses are for toasts and sandwiches."

• Proposed Change: Revise to: AussieMite is an independent Australian yeast extract invented by Roger Ramsey, who wanted a true Australian product as Vegemite the time was foreign owned since 1935. AussieMite is vegan source of B vitamins, including Vitamin B12. AussieMite is most often spread thinly on hot buttered toast. AussieMite is a dark brown paste with a salty distinctive umami taste profile similar to Marmite and Vegemite but with a softer after taste. The image of the Emu on the packaging is also featured on the Australian Coat of Arms, representing the strength of the Australian nation moving forwards.

• Reason for Change: The proposed text provides a more comprehensive description of AussieMite's unique qualities, its taste profile, and its cultural significance, which are not covered in the current version.

2. History Section

• Current Text: The current history section lacks some clarity and details about the legal disputes and expansions.

• Proposed Change: Update to: "AussieMite was formulated to offer a smoother taste, texture and increased nutritional value for positive mind health. AussieMite was launched Australia wide in supermarkets in 2000. Kraft Foods US started litigation against the AussieMite family business upon launch, however the US conglomerate was unsuccessful in stopping AussieMite from selling nationwide in major and independent retailers Australia wide. AussieMite was launched into Waitrose Supermarkets, Selfridges and Independent retailers in the United Kingdom in 2011. In 2012 Australian, Dick Smith launched Ozemite a yeast extract with the same sounding name with AussieMite’s original manufacturers. IP Australia ruled that OzeMite was to be discontinued however Dick Smith appealed the decision taking the AussieMite family business to the Federal court of Australia. After 5 years of litigation, In 2017 Justice Katzmann ruled on discretion that both products would co-exist claiming there would be no confusion. OzeMite has now been discontinued so there is not confusion. AussieMite is a registered trademark in Australia, the United Kingdom, China, European Union, United States of America, United Arab Emirates, Japan, South East Asia and available in select retailers worldwide and online via AussieMite’s website, Amazon Australia."

• Reason for Change: The updated text provides a clearer timeline of events, including key legal disputes and their outcomes, which are relevant to understanding AussieMite's history and market presence.

3. Usage and Ingredients Section

No problem with the nutritional information. However, you have an awful lot of information that is unsourced. The "softer after taste" (not covered by the sciencedirect source) the "strength of the Australian nation moving forwards", the start dates at coles and waitrose. I suspect most of what you are saying is correct, but you need either a clear source or consensus.Doctorhawkes (talk) 01:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
