Wall's Pastry High Protein Sausage Roll is the brand's latest entrant in the UK market that aims to capitalize on the popularity of high protein foods to offer consumers something new yet familiar.
The product features the classic composition of a British sausage roll with flaky pastry and sausage filling, but features a modest 303-calories and 16-grams of protein. These macros will work well for consumers seeking out a way to boost their protein intake without deviating too far from their favorite fare. The sausage roll comes in with a 120-gram serving size, a £1.50 price point is arriving now at Tesco and Morrisons.
Brand Director at The Compleat Food Group Jason Manley commented on the Wall's Pastry High Protein Sausage Roll saying, "We’re on a mission to delight shoppers by building on Britain’s love of sausage rolls and continuing to add value to the category. Being the UK’s first brand to bring a high-protein sausage roll to retail is a big step forward. It brings genuine innovation, recruits new shoppers, and shows that food can be both functional and great tasting."
