Kraft Heinz claimed the soups have been developed to offer the taste of fresh soup, with the convenience of ambient.
It emphasised the products are made from natural ingredients and contains no artificial flavours, colours, preservatives or sugar.
“Through extensive research we have learned that our consumers are looking for soups that taste fresh, are filling, easy and practical to make and that replicate homemade soups,” Heinz senior brand manager Wan Yuan Teo said.
“As category leaders, we knew we had to respond to these demands by bringing a new range of soups to the category in a convenient format, offering a fresh taste that our consumers want and need at lunchtimes.”
