Heinz 'upgrades' classic sauce as shoppers brand the move 'revolutionary'
Take a classic British dish to the next level with this brand new sauce
Fish and chips is a staple dish across the UK. Whether it be by the seaside or a Friday night takeaway, it's a go-to order that has become synonymous with British cuisine.
It's also quite versatile, as it pairs well with virtually any condiment, with some loyalists preferring ketchup, while others tend to just stick to salt and vinegar. However, many will know that the OG is Tartare sauce.
Fans of the classic sauce will be pleased to hear that there is a brand new bottle on the market, as this week Heinz unveiled its Fish and Chips Sauce that they have branded as "Tartare 2.0."
The beloved food manufacturer often cooks up an assortment of unique-flavoured sauces for fans to try out, with its latest offering already going down quite a treat with fans on social media who have branded it as "revolutionary."
Hailed by Heinz as the "new companion for fish and chips", its herby and creamy sauce combines a few similar ingredients to the OG condiment such as gherkins, parsley, and dill.
Those who are keen to give Heinz's Fish and Chips Sauce a try out the next time they order the staple dish will be able to find a 400ml bottle for £3.40 at Tesco, or on the firm's website for just £2.90.
Based on the product description on the Heinz website, the sauce isn't just perfect for pairing with fish and chips, as it can bring a "refreshing twist to any dish".
This includes a dip for fries, or for adding a herby flavour to vegetables and potato salad.
After announcing the sauce on Instagram earlier this week, fans were quick to share their positive thoughts, as one responded with: "Now this is revolutionary!"
A second Heinz fan wrote: "Ooooft! Hello!!!!" While someone else said: "Wow! its amazing!"
A few shoppers on Facebook were a little more sceptical, as they thought the rebrand was just the exact same sauce but in a different bottle. One such user wrote: "It's Tartare Sauce for god sake."
However, it is worth mentioning that, despite some comments, the Heinz Fish and Chips sauce is slightly different, as it does not contain capers which is one of the key ingredients in tartare sauce.
The firm also responded to a customer saying it "added herbs and onions."
Thiago Rapp, Director of Taste Elevation at Heinz said: "At Heinz, we're always exploring bold and exciting flavours, inspired by the latest food trends and what people across the nation are really craving.
"We want to give fans endless flavour possibilities and unexpected pairings that elevate every bite. And when it comes to British classics, nothing quite compares to fish and chips.
"It's a national treasure, whether enjoyed as a seaside staple, a proper chippy tea on a Friday, or a comforting midweek meal. We've created a sauce that pays homage to this beloved British dish, crafted to be the perfect companion for every fish-filled occasion."
The Heinz Fish and Chips sauce (400ml) is available to buy for £3.40 at Tesco and £2.90 on the Heinz website.

Ed Miliband's nuclear golden era could soon become a new dark age
This Government is fond of making grandiose claims for things that are yet to happen. The latest is Ed Miliband's declaration that we are in 'a golden era of nuclear power.' He has made a series of announcements that may or may not come to fruition over the next two decades, including a new nuclear plant at Sizewell with £14 billion of public money behind it. But Mr Miliband is getting well ahead of himself. History shows that few public policies of modern times have been more mishandled. Britain once led the world in nuclear energy and it was very much a cross-party venture. The post-war Attlee government established the Atomic Energy Research Establishment and the first ever commercial nuclear reactor was built at Calder Hall under the Tories in 1956 just as the Suez crisis increased concerns over the supply of oil. British nuclear expertise was second to none and sought around the world. Under both Conservative and Labour administrations, the UK became a leader in nuclear power development, commencing operations on 26 Magnox reactors between 1956 and 1971. The technology chopped and changed, moving from advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs) in the 1970s to pressurised water reactors (PWRs) and even a fast-breeder reactor experiment at Dounreay in Scotland, opened amid great fanfare by Margaret Thatcher but which has now closed. Her government set in train a plan for eight new PWRs, only one of which – Sizewell B – was ever built. What happened? One answer is North Sea oil and gas. Fears about fuel scarcity and sky high prices abated as more came ashore. Cheap gas made the cost of nuclear look prohibitive to politicians fixated only on the short term. Meanwhile, across the Channel, the French, with no oil and depleted coal reserves, invested instead in nuclear power. By 1979 they had installed 56 reactors, satisfying their power needs and even exporting electricity to other European countries, including us. The French are even going to be building Sizewell C. They produce 70 per cent of their electricity by nuclear fission, which does not emit CO2, and are not dependent on energy from volatile regions like the Gulf or despotic regimes like Russia. This serendipity was as much a function of force majeure as foresight. As the French said 'no oil, no gas, no coal, no choice'. As a result they have found themselves in a better position than Britain in the switch to low carbon renewables. Because of the apparent bonanza provided by North Sea oil, we neglected the one source of power that would help create self-sufficiency and meet climate change objectives. Only when it was too late and much of the industry's expertise had been lost did the last Labour government try to reactivate the nuclear programme. Ironically, it was Mr Miliband as Environment Secretary who revived the programme 15 years ago in the teeth of objections from Labour 'greens'. Yet only one new reactor at Hinkley Point – using French technology and, to begin with, Chinese finance – has been given the go ahead. It is way behind schedule by at least six years and massively over budget. For all the trumpet-blowing is the new Sizewell announcement just another milestone along a road paved with good intentions and wretched decision-making? We know it will be hugely expensive and the idea of it coming on stream within 10 years is for the birds. Since it is a copy of Hinkley it should benefit by learning from the mistakes made there. But few can have confidence in the project meeting any of its financial targets or the timetable for construction because nothing in this country ever does. Around the world there is a boom in nuclear power building as countries see it as an essential complement to wind and solar, not least because it provides a baseload and is not dependent on the weather. Sixty reactors are being built globally – 30 of them in China, which has also opened a thorium plant, something we could have done years ago since we have plentiful supplies and the process reduces waste. Is there any area in which the UK can press ahead? Tucked away in his Telegraph article this week, Miliband says the Government is ramping up spending on nuclear fusion research, though this seems more a token mention than an enthusiastic embrace. Yet fusion is one area where the British do have a great deal of expertise, with start-up companies well ahead of any European competitors in raising investment. It is always said that fusion is the future that never arrives because it involves replicating the same processes seen on the Sun. About 35 years ago two chemists shocked the world by claiming they had come up with 'cold fusion' obviating the need to produce the excessive temperatures needed. But the science was flawed, even though some adherents still think cold fusion is possible. Fusion technology is advancing rapidly and is likely to accelerate with the help of AI, high temperature superconducting magnets and supercomputers. But those in the business fear the Government is making the same mistakes as its predecessors in failing to measure the long-term in decades, not parliamentary sessions. China, Japan and America are now in the vanguard of a technology in which the UK once led, as it did with nuclear fission. Arguably, the most important aspect of Miliband's plan is the green light for a fleet of small modular reactors (SMRs), though getting planning agreements past local communities will be hard. Even this has been fraught with bureaucracy and delay. A competition to find a developer for SMRs has taken two years before alighting on Rolls Royce. Why has it taken so long? The potential offered by SMRs was identified years ago; yet once again, government dithering has led to everything being done when it is too late to fill the energy gap that will threaten black-outs in a few years' time. This is because the switch to renewables, the ban on new North Sea extraction licences and the demise of coal will make the decommissioning of existing nuclear power stations even more problematic before new ones come on stream. How long before Mr Miliband's golden era turns into a dark age?

Nestle confirms it's axed breakfast staple from all UK supermarket shelves as shoppers sob ‘life isn't the same'
Has your favourite product vanished from shelves? We'd love to hear from you - email us on money@ Has your favourite product vanished from shelves? We'd love to hear from you - email us on money@ CRUNCH TIME Nestle confirms it's axed breakfast staple from all UK supermarket shelves as shoppers sob 'life isn't the same' NESTLE has confirmed it axed a breakfast staple from all UK supermarkets, leaving shoppers heartbroken. The chocolate to coffee maker has confirmed Clusters are no longer available on shelves. Advertisement 1 Nestlé Clusters were a popular treat for customers to enjoy The morning meal - made with whole grain flakes and toasted almonds - was a staple in British supermarkets for years but was axed over a decade. However many shoppers are unaware the snack is no longer available in stores and wondered if it would make a return. One curious customers took to X, to plead with Nestle to bring the product back. They said: "I woke up this morning and the only thing I want is a bowl of Clusters. Please bring them back. Advertisement "Life just hasn't been the same since they went away." Nestle responded and confirmed the cereal was no more, crushing dreams the product might make a return soon. The company said: "We're sorry to have to give you disappointing news, but unfortunately, Clusters has been discontinued from our range." It will come as a blow to customers who in the past described it as a "glorious cereal". Advertisement While another said: "Nestle clusters was the only cereal I could eat. I used to buy upto a dozen boxes. There's nothing out there I can eat." And a third upset shopper said: "Please bring nestle clusters back! I'll buy them in bulk I promise." Kellogg's discontinues breakfast cereal It is not the first time Nestle has axed a product that customers love. Last December it told customers it would no longer sell Carnation Vegan Condensed Milk Alternative. Advertisement The substitute for its original dairy version was made with oats and rice and was used for baking sweet treats that were plant-based. It was launched by the chocolate-to-coffee maker back in 2020 and was sold in supermarkets such as Asda and retailed for around £2.50. Last October, shoppers were left distraught after learning the company had stopped making Smarties Buttons. The treat comprised a tasty combination of milk chocolate buttons with crunchy bits, but maker Nestle said it now wants to focus on its core Smarties products. Advertisement The product was unveiled in 2020 as a 'reimagined' treat for choc-lovers with 'special memories' of Smarties. Nestle also said last summer it was no longer making Cheerios Vanilla O's, leading to heartbreak. MORE DISCONTINUED CEREAL It is not uncommon for popular cereals to disappear from shelves. Kellogg's said last month it would no longer be making chocolate Cornflakes after a product recall. Advertisement Two years ago shoppers were also horrified to learn the cereal giant had axed Frosties from its multi pack boxes as it contained too much sugar. And it's not only Kellogg's which has pulled the trigger on a number of popular morning foods. Weetabix confirmed earlier this month that Alpen cereal bars have now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves. Tesco left shoppers heartbroken when it confirmed it was no longer making its own-brand apricot wheats. Advertisement
