Heinz Introduces ‘Flavor Tour’ Sauces
Heinz is embarking on a culinary adventure with its new line of globally-inspired sauces, aiming to add a flavorful twist to home-cooked meals.
The brand has unveiled three new products under its “Flavor Tour” collection: Mexican Inspired Street Corn, Korean Inspired Sweet & Tangy BBQ, and Thai Inspired Sweet Chili. These sauces, free from artificial flavors, feature authentic ingredients like gochujang and chipotle peppers, capturing the essence of their respective cuisines.
This launch aligns with the growing trend of consumers opting for home-cooked meals over dining out, prompting CPG companies to offer more diverse and culinary-inspired products. Heinz’s sauces cater to the increasing demand for globally-inspired flavors at an affordable price point.
Notably, the dipping category has shown significant growth compared to other condiments, prompting Heinz to innovate and introduce new offerings. Last year, the brand introduced a range of aioli sauces to meet consumers’ evolving preferences for unique flavors and culinary exploration.
Angie Madigan, Vice President of Taste Elevation Marketing at Kraft Heinz, stated, “Americans are seeking condiments that deliver international flavors and versatility without breaking the bank. With our expertise in crafting beloved sauces, the Flavor Tour line offers the perfect solution for these discerning consumers.”
