The Pot Noodle Chicken Fajita instant noodles have been unveiled by the Unilever-owned brand as its latest flavor of the signature product that provides a Mexican cuisine dining experience in an unexpected way.
The product was created after a voting process that saw the Mexican cuisine flavor go up against Pepperoni Pizza and Full English in the UK. The instant noodles come as the brand's first new product development chosen by consumers after the success of the Doner Kebab flavor back in 2022 and are part of the brand's commitment to boosting sales in the mini meal category.
The Pot Noodle Chicken Fajita instant noodles are available now exclusively at ASDA locations for 12 weeks before they'll be available at all major retailers and convenience stores in the UK for £1.20 per pot.
