Blending the same great taste of Heinz Tomato Ketchup with exciting, spicier flavours, the three new sauces - Mild Chilli, Piri Piri & Lime and Fiery Chilli are perfect for those looking to give their favourite foods a unique twist.

Each distinct sauce offers a different level of spiciness, so there's ketchup to suit all taste buds. To make it easy for you, Heinz has even put chilli indicators and different colours on the bottle to highlight the level of heat of each variety - just choose how hot you want to go and mix things up at meal times!

For those looking to give their food a gentle kick Heinz Twisted Ketchup Mild Chilli delivers a delicate Mexican flavour and is great with everything from classic chips to burgers or fajitas.

If you fancy being a bit more daring then why not give Heinz Twisted Ketchup Piri Piri & Lime a twirl. Packed with a unique twist of lime, it's delicious served with grilled chicken, fish or prawns and will be sure to spice up summer BBQs.

For those who really want to turn things on their head then Heinz Twisted Ketchup Fiery Chilli is the one for you. Put a dollop in your spaghetti bolognese, shepherd's pie or lasagna to give it some extra punch or serve alongside your favourite grilled meats.

There's no doubt we Brits like to spice up our favourite dishes. Our developing taste for hot stuff is apparent through the nation's favourite dish - a nice curry! Heinz Twisted Ketchups have been specially developed to match these food and flavour trends, using Heinz's trusted expertise to combine heat with real flavour.

HP, the UK's no. 1 brown sauce we all know and love was first produced in 1903. Today the range has many other variants including HP Fruity, HP Steak Sauce, HP Reduced Salt and Sugar and the HP BBQ and HP Hot Sauces range.

The sauces become so popular that a whopping 28 million bottles are consumed in a year - if the bottles were stacked on top of each other, they would reach the same height as 6,189 of the Houses of Parliament's tallest tower (Victoria Tower).

The original recipe for HP Sauce was invented and developed in 1896 by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. Mr Garton sold the recipe for the sum of £150 and the settlement of some unpaid bills to Edwin Samson Moore, the founder of the Midlands Vinegar Company, who subsequently launched HP Sauce in 1903

HP stands for 'Houses of Parliament', as it was rumoured that the sauce had been seen in one of the dining rooms at the famous landmark

An early advert for HP Sauce drew inspiration from a well-known nursery rhyme: 'Mary had a little lamb with lots of HP Sauce'. Private Eye's Parliamentary news section is called 'HP Sauce'
