Nando’s PERi-Ketchup has been created by the restaurant chain in the UK to provide consumers with a way to elevate their favorite foods with a touch of sweet, spicy flavor. The condiment is crafted with tomatoes and chili peppers to give it a sweet and spicy profile that's reported by the brand to be on the mild side of things. The product comes in a squeeze bottle to support easy portioning and is available now at Asda locations for £1.75 per bottle, while Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's Ocado, Morrisons, Nisa and Co-op are expected to receive stock in the coming months.
A spokesperson for Nando's commented on Nando’s PERi-Ketchup saying, "Packed with juicy tomatoes and a hint of chilli, it’s Mild on the PERi-ometer, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans so can be enjoyed by the whole family on any occasion. Whether you smother is all over your chips, smear it on a sandwich or squirt it into Bolognese – it’s about to be your new favourite squeeze.”
