‘World first': Grill'd overhauls range with healthier buns in partnership with Melbourne Storm, Demons
In a world first, the healthy burger joint will make all of its panini and traditional buns low GI and high fibre.
Made with 87 per cent less sugar than a standard brioche bun, they're intended to release energy into the body slowly, which makes the customer feeling fuller for longer.
They also contain half the sugar of regular white rolls, making them a healthier alternative.
To celebrate the launch of the healthier burger buns, Grill'd is partnering with the Australian Institute of Sport and the Melbourne Demons and Melbourne Storm teams to celebrate the low-GI buns.
'Nutrition is a critical part of performance,' Melbourne Storm nutritionist Georgia Walker said.
'The right foods give our players the energy to train hard, recover well, and stay on the field.'
She said the new buns were an easier way to get the players to eat healthily.
'Our players train full-time, and their energy demands are huge,' she said.
'You can educate players on the right foods to eat, but if players don't enjoy the food, it's not sustainable.'
Grill'd founder and managing director Simon Crowe said the company had been developing the buns for several years, and it was an extraordinary step for the Australian restaurant chain.
'Health and performance are major priorities for Grill'd as a business,' he said.
'As leaders in innovation, we've developed Hi Fibre Lo GI buns, a breakthrough in product development for a burger restaurant.
'The creation of High Fibre Low GI food is incredibly challenging to achieve in fresh product production as it is governed by strict certification conformity,' he added.
'But we have been perfecting this product innovation for a number of years, trialling many different recipes to nail the right balance of nutrition and taste.
'The result? Buns that are better for your body, without compromising on taste or quality.'

Family pleads for change after father Dennis Carruthers dies following discharge from Blacktown Hospital
The grieving family of a much-loved father claims he died because of alleged neglect, and are desperate for change at a busy Australian hospital. Dennis Carruthers, 82, was laid to rest in a funeral service held in northwest Sydney on Monday. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Grieving family demands action after father's death at Blacktown Hospital. He had been discharged from Blacktown Hospital earlier in July having battled bacterial infection cellulitis in his legs. He died when his legs gave way days later. '(My father) needed to be in hospital, and he probably would still be with us today [if he was],' his son Brad Carruthers told 7NEWS. 'He didn't get the attention he needed. He needed more time.' Carruthers said the hospital was understaffed, health workers were under the pump and his dad was pushed out the door before his legs had time to heal. 'He said 'I just need more time' and they kept saying 'no, you've got to go, we've got this room for someone else',' Carruthers said. Health Minister Ryan Park told 7NEWS: 'I offer my sincere condolences to the family.' 'Western Sydney Local Health District is urgently looking into this matter.' Park added that Dennis Carruthers was medically assessed as 'fit for discharge' and had been given a home visit and follow-up care. It comes almost a year after a 7NEWS investigation exposed a crisis at Blacktown Hospital. More shocking images emerged just last week. 'The situation at Blacktown Hospital is out of control,' NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman said. The Carruthers family wants action now, 'so it doesn't happen to someone else's father'. They have suggested a deep and proper investigation into the hospital. 7NEWS understands moves are being made at state parliament for an inquiry and developments should be seen this week including a recruitment drive and safe staff ratios.

'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken,' another said. 'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a third added. 'Absolutely unacceptable.
