The UK’s largest food group is launching four Indian and two Chinese kits. Each product, which will have an RSP of GBP3.29 (US$5.23), contains a sachet of spices, a sachet of salsa or sauce and wraps or chapattis.

“For consumers who have reduced eating out of home occasions, meal kits lend themselves to in-home entertaining and give consumers the chance to be creative and turn their hand to a simple form of scratch cooking,” Sharwood’s marketing controller Kelly Davis said.
