The SKUs are the first major product launch since chief executive David Collard joined the company in 2011.

Collard said: “We have designed this to be the most rounded and exciting range of authentic barbecue flavours on the market. People spend a lot on barbecued foods but our view is that there is scope to incrementally grow both the value and volume of sauces, marinades and accompaniments.”

The five rubs come with a “marinade bag” that gives consumers the option of using the rub as a dry marinade or, after adding lemon juice or olive oil, as a wet marinade.

Some of the rubs and mills will hit Waitrose shelves next week. Each of the rubs, mills and sauces will be on sale through Ocado next month.
