Pringles fires up UK convenience stores with new Flame Grilled Steak

Pringles fires up UK convenience stores with new Flame Grilled Steak

Sharing crisp brand Pringles is turning up the heat this winter, bolstering its portfolio of bold and innovative crisp flavours with the launch of Flame Grilled Steak.

This latest addition will launch as a convenience channel exclusive, aligned to the brand’s impressive performance across symbols and independents – now worth over £60m, growing at +5.6 per cent versus a category that is seeing a -0.1 per cent decline.


In addition, the exclusive offering will be available as a PMP. This is designed to help retailers boost their on-the-go snacking sales, drive impulse purchases and bring incremental shoppers to the category, building on the brand’s continued momentum, offering added value for both consumers and retailers alike.

Crafted to deliver a rich and smoky taste experience, Pringles Flame Grilled Steak combines the distinctive Pringles crunch and flame-kissed steak flavour that consumers crave. Steak is a sought-after snack flavour within the convenience channel, evidenced by its strong performance in the Singles segment, with brands like McCoys and Walkers Max seeing success. However, within the Large Sharing segment, Steak accounts for just 0.2 per cent of total sales, revealing significant untapped headroom. With the total Steak flavour opportunity worth almost £20m in the away from home channel, Pringles is uniquely positioned to leverage its position as the number one brand in the Large Sharing segment to maximise sales and drive growth in a declining category.

The launch of Pringles Flame Grilled Steak will be supported with striking in-depot POS designed to drive awareness and encourage trial, complemented by wholesaler activation packages for additional amplification.

"We’re so excited to be turning up the heat and introducing Pringles Flame Grilled Steak to the convenience channel this February!” Hannah Fearnley, Head of Route to Market at Kellanova. “Steak is a massive flavour opportunity and one that’s proven to resonate so strongly amongst consumers. Given our growth in the Large Sharing sector, we are uniquely positioned to deliver this opportunity and reinvigorate the snacking aisle by giving consumers and retailers what they want!

“With our strong brand presence and commitment to innovation, we’re confident that this new launch will spark excitement in stores, as well as bolster impulse sales via our compelling PMP offering, giving both consumers and retailers yet another reason to engage with the Pringles brand.”

Mr Kipling introduces new Simnel Slices as part of its Easter range

The UK’s number one cake brand , Mr Kipling, is launching new limited-edition Simnel Slices just in time for Easter. Expanding the season beyond the classic chocolate treats, Mr Kipling is bringing a fruity Easter flavour onto shelves, expanding retailers’ seasonal cake ranges this year.

Simnel is the third most popular cake flavour at Easter , growing 7.4 per cent versus 2023. Often found across Easter in larger sharing cakes, the new Mr Kipling slices look to meet the growing demand for this flavour in a smaller convenient format, leveraging Mr Kipling’s number one cake format. Whilst Simnel is highly relevant to the season, there is an untapped opportunity in a smaller slices format. This launch will tap into the demand for seasonally relevant options among shoppers aged 45 and above , with Mr Kipling’s tried and tested credentials. New Simnel slices encapsulate a fluffy and moist sponge with succulent dried fruit, sandwiched with a moist marzipan flavour filling and topped with soft marzipan flavour icing.
