Halloween-Themed Snack Pastries

Ginsters Spicy Sausage & Red Pepper Pasty is Limited-Edition

— October 8, 2024 — Lifestyle
Ginsters Spicy Sausage & Red Pepper Pasty is headed to the UK market in response to consumer demand for Halloween-themed products as a delicious yet convenient snack to pick up this fall. The baked pastry consists of flaky puff pastry that's filled with spicy British sausage along with smoked bacon, red peppers and onions in a smoky tomato sauce with notes of chili seasoning. The pastry is capable of being prepared in the oven or the air fryer in around 12-minutes and is crafted with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives in the recipe.

Marketing Director Emma Stowers commented on the Ginsters Spicy Sausage & Red Pepper Pasty saying, "Ginsters leads the way in flavour innovation for the savoury pastry category. We know consumers are looking for taste experiences and previous years have shown that our Halloween Pasty has been a hit with younger audiences, attracting younger shoppers to savoury pastry fixture (Kantar). Returning this year, our Halloween Pasty is set to give shoppers a spicy, spooky, tasty treat this season.”
