By GlobalDataThe new line will launch in the UK on 1 May. Last year, Heinz rolled out a 50% less sugar version of its tomato ketchup in the country.
Rachael Barnes, brand manager at for the Heinz Beanz brand, said: "It was really important for us as a company to respond to the growing concerns around health and nutritional values within products. Mums in particular are growing increasingly concerned with what they offer their children and our new Heinz RSS Beanz range will offer them the reassurance that what they are providing their families has improved nutritional benefits. By using the natural sweetener stevia, we are able to reduce the sugar content whilst still delivering a tasty product."
