Pulled beef chilli with rice, mac 'n' cheese with meatballs, hot fajita chicken with wedges and hickory pulled pork will be available from next month in selected Asda stores at an introductory RRP of GBP2 (US$3.05). Off promotion, the recommended price will be GBP2.25.
"Although Frank's RedHot is becoming an established brand here in the UK, there is still a big opportunity to move beyond the traditional range of sauces and introduce new products with new flavours to new consumers in the UK," a spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added the popularity of American food was growing in the UK. "American food has become a massive trend amongst the foodservice industry with American style food becoming the fastest growing ready meal cuisine in the UK, up by 36.5% this year alone."
