Empire Bespoke Foods, the specialist global food importer and distributer, has unveiled an exclusive new range of ‘heat & eat’ taco fillings based on the most popular world food flavours in response to growing consumer demand for exciting and convenient meal solutions.
Pekis Taco Fillings are based on traditional and authentic recipes from around the world, cooked with 100% premium quality, natural ingredients and no preservatives. Ready to heat, eat and enjoy, the range comprises Chicken Jalapeno, Tikka Masala, Chicken Teriyaki and Chilli Con Carne. Each 180g pack will fill four average-sized taco shells.
“Shopper spending in Mexican has increased by nearly 10% over last year* with Mexican, Indian, Chinese and Japanese cuisines now accounting for the vast majority of world foods sales,” commented Madina Kaiumova, brand manager at Empire Bespoke Foods. “The rapid rise in consumer demand for taste adventure, combined with the popularity of replicating restaurant-style meals at home, means that there is now a huge opportunity for retailers to capitalise on these growing trends.
“These fillings combine the true taste of some of the most popular world cuisines with the familiarity of the much loved Mexican taco, and with shortcut products increasingly in demand,” added Kaiumova. “60% of consumers now consider convenience a key decision factor when purchasing world foods, and with 80% now claiming to be ready for ’safe adventure’ through familiarity*, we fully expect the Pekis range to satisfy the growing consumer appetite for these winning combinations of great flavours and absolute convenience.”
The Pekis range of taco fillers require only ambient storage and contain all the ingredients necessary to create each dish within minutes. They are now available exclusively through Empire Bespoke Foods. RSP: £3.99 per 180g pack.
