Gnome Rangers Tomato Ketchup has been created for the UK market as a sauce for kids that takes aim at the family market to prioritize a fun, playful approach to the traditionally ordinary condiment.
The product was developed through a partnership with The Foraging Fox and is made in England using surplus tomatoes at the peak of ripeness that have been sourced from across Europe. The recipe also features a blend of savory spices, vinegar and sugar to strike the right balance in terms of taste for kids and families alike. The product also has a lower amount of sugar and salt when compared to branded alternatives on the market as a further nod to the changing preferences of today's shopper.
Gnome Rangers Tomato Ketchup is arriving now at Ocado in two size formats with a third slated to arrive in August.
