Heinz Creationz Mexican Beanz Chipotle Style with Chorizo Pouch 250g

Product Information

JusRol croissants/pain au chocolat/cinnamon rolls in a tube to bake for breakfast (or go to Parc Market for fresh croissants/bread) The latest Creationz variants comes as the result of “30% of consumers actively looking for new and ethnic flavours when grocery shopping, and with international cuisines in growth in the UK”. Kraft Heinz has revamped its Heinz Creationz range of beans and pulses, moving it from a can to a pouch and overhauling the variants. The supplier has scrapped its existing world-food inspired Heinz Beanz & Pulses range, launched in 2014, in favour of new sub-brand Heinz Creationz.

The launch comes as Heinz UK reported dwindling beans and soup sales in its accounts to 3 January 2016, driving total sales down 2% year on year. The company said overall beans sales had suffered from “a reduced promotional programme and price”, but stressed there had been “strong growth” from bean meals and flavoured beans. In ready-to-eat beans and pulses “health, flavour and convenience are key” said Elise Lignieres, Heinz Beanz marketing manager. “Not only that – research shows the pulses aisle is a stronger fit for premium innovation, which is why our new convenient pouch solution will appeal to shoppers in the category.” Their name says ‘flavoured with chorizo’ and while there is actual minced chorizo in the can (at 0.6% according to the ingredient list), there’s so little of it that I couldn’t spot any but obviously enough to rule it out as vegetarian option. Half your daily vegies in one serve of Beanz (2.5 serves of vegetables which goes towards your goal of 5 serves a day)Despite being flavoured with chorizo (a Spanish sausage that’s high in salt), the sodium levels remain relatively low

Kraft Heinz has overhauled its beans and pulses offering as it looks to revive flagging UK canned food sales. Microwave rice is a God send. Stir in a spoon of cream cheese, some peas, chopped ham and a twist of pepper. I also tip microwave rice straight into deseeded red pepper halves, before topping with slices of mozzarella and popping in the oven for twenty minutes. More kilojoules/Calories than the original baked beans * (thanks to the extra ingredients) but also more protein and fibre and less sugar and sodium Good source of protein with 18.1g per serve which is equivalent to the protein content of two extra large eggs If you don’t have time to cook with the Beanz, they are a nice light meal on their own, providing protein, carbohydrate and veg all in oneI always bring a tin of tuna and tin of sweetcorn to make tuna mic for a salad or tuna melts, or to use in a stir fried rice or pasta dish milk, butter (real butter is good to use to cook with as well if you don't want to bring a small bottle of olive oil, but olive oil also useful for salad dressings),
