Lindsay Davis, Brand Manager, HEINZ Innovation at the Kraft Heinz Company, said, “We know consumers are hungry for a wider variety of spicy sauces and flavors, and as a consumer-obsessed brand at the forefront of food culture, we saw an exciting opportunity to innovate around our fans’ evolving preferences. The heat source of a sauce “really matters to them,” according to audience observations, 2 which served as a compass in the development of new products with carefully chosen and flavorful pepper-specific bases.

HEINZ is in a unique position to satisfy this desire for more heat with its new Hot Varieties because consumers are more apt to try new flavours from brands they know and trust3. More generally, Kraft Heinz’s broader transformation, which uses insight-led innovation to expand the business’s Taste Elevation platform and shape the future of food, is supported by the brand’s entry into the spicy sauce category.
