Sarnie sauces with worldwide appeal

Independent supplier of cooked ingredients Beacon Foods has launched the first in its Tastes of the World range, which will consist of concise sets of sauces, relishes and chutneys to mix and match with proteins for sandwiches and salads.

The company's first range, Indian Spice Magic, includes a Tikka Masala sauce, Nut Free Korma and three chutneys: Kashmiri Tomato Chutney, Indian Hot Banana Chutney, and Mango.

Food consultant Nellie Nichols, who is working with Beacon Foods, says: "We intend to offer customers a portfolio of products that will make ingredients, such as plain cooked chicken, totally versatile, reducing the need for several different flavoured, bought-in proteins."

She claims that there is a huge opportunity to provide customers with blueprints from different countries for their sandwich development.

"We aim to become a development one stop shop for a wealth of countries including Thailand, Mexico, Morocco, Indonesia, Vietnam, Italy, France and Spain.

"Sandwich tastes are fast becoming more multicultural and we believe we can respond swiftly to this need," she says.
