Heinz is launching three new flavours of its 'mash-up' mayonnaise range, and apparently us Brits asked for it.
Not content with the classic mayo? Well you're in luck as the iconic sauce brand is now creating new mash-ups by blending other sauces together.
More than 81,000 Brits voted for the mash-up they wanted next, and it was a landslide victory for three sauces – Sriracha, mustard, and barbecue sauce.
It follows the success of Heinz’s ‘Saucy Sauce’ launch, which was a half-ketchup half-mayo blend.
So now there’ll be MayoRacha, MayoMust and MayoCue hitting supermarket shelves from Monday 13 February.

Heinz said: “Fish and chips, the Sugababes, Bennifer… some things just go better together. So, when half of Brits (51%) told us they mix sauces on the plate and 66,440 people said they want to see Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise mixed with sriracha, mustard and BBQ, we listened!
“We’ve been working hard to mix up your favourite saucy combos, and today, we can unveil three brand new, smooth and creamy Heinz Mayo Mashupz to take any home-cooked meal to the next level.”
They say that MayoRacha is the perfect sauce for dipping pizza crusts and chip into, or using to spice up sushi.
MayoMust is best-suited to chicken, hot dogs and sandwiches, while MayoCue is ‘banging with burgers or perfect with pizza’.

Wendy Lin, Senior Brand Manager at Heinz, said: “We love that people are getting creative with their sauce combos. So, we placed the power in the hands of the public to decide what Mashup we should create next.
“A quick dollop of our MayoRacha, MayoMust or MayoCue is all it takes to level-up mealtimes and get your tastebuds tingling. Our Mashupz are the perfect companion for pizza crusts, chips, burgers, sandwiches, sushi lunches and so much more.”
All three sauces are available in ASDA stores nationwide from 13 February 2023 for £3.39 (RRP) for 400ml.
Heinz MayoCue will be available in ASDA exclusively for 12 months, while Heinz MayoRacha and Heinz MayoMust will be available in wider retailers from early April.
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
