There's new sauces on the shelves from industry leaders KRAFT and Heinz this month with both opting for a smoky flavour addition to their ranges.
Heinz has made a somewhat rare addition to its Ketchup flavours, introducing the new Smokey Bacon flavour ketchup to the UK. The product description on the website says of the new flavour:
Here's the world's number one Tomato Ketchup with an added smokey bacon flavour that gives it a wonderful intensity. Add a dollop to the side of a cooked breakfast to enjoy a bright, smokey start to the day. Also makes the perfect accompaniment to your summer barbecue!
Thiago Rapp, Head of Heinz comms and brand build, said of the new flavour: 'Following the success of our Pickle Flavour Tomato Ketchup last year, we know what we're doing when it comes to launching delicious new twists to your favourite Heinz Tomato Ketchup – and this one is nothing short of sizzlingly-delicious!'
Parent company KRAFT Heinz has also gone down the smoked route with its latest condiment NPD with the addition of Smoky Hickory Bacon Flavoured Aioli. The product description says:
