Heinz Classic Barbiecue has been unveiled as a limited-edition condiment created in partnership with Mattel as a pink-hued food item perfect for avid fans to try out on their favorite recipes.
The condiment features a vegan mayo barbecue recipe that's creamy and spiced, while the pink hue of the sauce gives it a true Barbie-approved profile. Arriving in the UK, the sauce will arrive at retailers in May for £3.39 per bottle and is launching in a timely manner to coincide with the Barbie brand's 65th anniversary.
Director of Taste Elevation Thiago Rapp spoke on the Heinz Classic Barbiecue saying, "Barbie well and truly won the hearts of Brits all over again last year, and after seeing the reaction this sauce brought to our fans on social media, we knew we had to make it a reality. We’re always looking for ways to innovate and give our fans what they want, and we’re thrilled to be able to bring this iconic partnership with Mattel to life.”
