Heinz announces new ketchup and it's completely different to the staple £2.50 bottle
Known for a range of different products including dipping sauces, the popular brand Heinz is about to release a brand new Tomato Ketchup sauce with an Asian twist. Ever heard about Sriracha? Yes, it's a combination of the best of both worlds.
Heinz has announced a new Tomato Ketchup Sweet Sriracha hitting up the stores. Last week, the brand released a total of 57 bottles of their new product, which sold out in under 15 minutes, on the Heinz to Home website.
As the drop came without any notice in advance, disappointed Ketchup fans still had high hopes of being able to get their hands on the unique condiment. But don't worry, you'll now be able to secured the goods on the product in your local supermarket.
Promising to add 'a little swice to your life', the new fusion Ketchup brings a kick of heat, without it being too spicy. It joins the new other flavours range alongside Heinz Tomato Ketchup Pickle, Bacon and Curry.
Thiago Rapp, Director of Taste Elevation at Heinz said: 'Following the success of Heinz Pickle, Bacon and Curry Tomato Ketchup in recent years, we know our fans are constantly looking for new flavours to elevate their meals.
With the sweet and spicy trend not coming to an end any time soon, it was the perfect time to add a new twist to the iconic Heinz Tomato Ketchup taste people know and love by launching the Sweet Sriracha variety for those wanting an extra kick of sweet heat.'
If you're not a fan of spicy food, don't worry, because Sriracha isn't in the 'hot' category, but in the 'mild' level. The new sauce is perfect for those who would rather taste the flavour than just the spiciness.
It provides that rich, tomatoey flavour with a sweet kick of heat to 'enliven your senses', making your chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and cheesy fries extra flavourful.
For those unfamiliar with the taste of Sriracha, it's a type of hot sauce made from paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, picked garlic, sugar and salt. Originated in Si Racha, Thailand, it goes well with seafood, or to add a kick of spiciness in any dish.
Where to get the new Heinz Tomato Ketchup Sweet Sriracha?
Sold at £3.39, Asda is the first supermarket to get their hands on the product, stocking up their shelves from April 29, followed by Morrisons from May 5 and other major UK retailers to join in the upcoming weeks. The best thing about it is that it's also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Ad-land's diversity obsession is seriously backfiring
There was a time when people of colour were not adequately represented in British TV commercials. For many years, despite the UK's growing black and Asian population, there were too few people matching that description in the commercial breaks. In the programmes surrounding those breaks, it was the same. Even in the late 1990s, when so many British corner shops were owned by Asians, the one in Coronation Street was owned by Alf Roberts in his white grocer's coat. British advertisers, quite rightly, decided to correct this imbalance. Trouble was, they all did it – or overdid it – at exactly the same time. The result, of course, was a TV Ad World which bore no demographic relation to reality. The large and improbable number of black people who suddenly appeared in commercials is one of many reasons why the advertising industry is no longer taken seriously. The practice then became entrenched when corporations put 'diversity' at the core of their 'values'. Never mind that their boardrooms remained largely white, as long as they could point to a good number of non-white faces in their TV ads, boxes were ticked and guilt was assuaged. However, since prioritising diversity over reality, it was only a matter of time before this policy came back to bite them and it has. A TV commercial for Sanex shower gel has been banned for suggesting that white skin is superior to black skin. Because of the obsession with 'diverse' casting, the commercial shows both black and white women showering with Sanex. But whereas the black skin is shown to be cracked, clay-like and disfigured by red scratch marks, the white skin is smooth and lubricious. Blinded by their 'commitment to diversity', Sanex failed to see the offence they'd cause with such an obviously racist trope. There has always been discussion about whether black skin is drier than white. Some dermatologists say that because darker skin has a thicker outer layer to protect against sun damage, it also has lower levels of ceramides which lead to moisture loss. Others maintain that any dryness is simply more visible on black skin. Either way, a skincare company like Sanex should have known all this. They should also have known that, by appearing to imply that black skin is inferior to white, they could be accused of racism. It's hard not to laugh. The last thing they thought they were being is the very thing they turned out to be. Though behind the sniggering lies a very serious issue. Advertisers' commitment to diversity has quite often been a commitment to discrimination and anyone who produces TV or radio commercials will have first-hand experience of this. A well known estate agent, for example, asked me to cast a voice for their radio ads and they chose a white actress whom they described as 'perfect'. Just before the recording, however, they asked me to re-cast and find a woman of colour. 'No problem', I said, 'What accent would you like? Indian? West Indian? African?' 'No, no', they said, 'We don't want the accent'. When I pointed out this was radio and unless she started the ad with 'Hello, I'm not white', how would anyone know, there was silence. I then explained that what they were proposing – denying a woman work simply because of the colour of her skin – was illegal. The law was there to protect everyone and if this actress were to find out, she could sue them. More silence. They were nice people and certainly weren't racists but had become so obsessed with diversity that they couldn't see that what they were doing could land them in court. Sadly this kind of behaviour has been all too prevalent in advertising. However, if the Sanex debacle makes advertisers think more carefully about the consequences of accidental racism, it could yet be a good thing. Nobody wants a return to Alf Roberts and TV commercials full of white people, just a realistic representation of our proudly diverse population. Using the word 'inclusion' to exclude certain people is no longer an excuse. Unlike Sanex, it simply won't wash.
