Pukka revolutionises savoury pastries with World Flavours parcels

Pukka revolutionises savoury pastries with World Flavours parcels

Pukka is launching a brand-new range of grab-and go-parcels, inspired by flavours from across the world, in what’s set to be its biggest launch yet.

In a bid to bring innovative, full-on flavour to the typically functional savoury pastry category, the Pukka team travelled across the world to discover the vibrant and rich flavours of Jamaica, Mexico and India, using its culinary expertise to bring these iconic tastes back to Brits, with a distinctively Pukka twist.


Pukka World Flavours Indian Spiced Vegetable

The three-strong line up of World Flavours Parcels, consisting of Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Mexican Beef and Indian Spiced Vegetable, are designed to boost category growth by offering the convenience of handheld savoury pastry products with bold and punchy flavours, alongside vibrant, eye-catching packaging.

“As a British brand catering to a beautifully diverse audience, it’s incredibly important that we’re celebrating as many cultures as possible with our product range, which is why we have launched our Pukka ‘World Flavours’ grab and go parcels," said Isaac Fisher, CEO at Pukka.

“When developing the products, our top priority was coming up with something that tasted great and felt authentic. That’s why we travelled the world, visiting Jamaica, Mexico and India, to bring a taste of these iconic culinary destinations to the UK, of course adding our signature Pukka stamp along the way – and we are excited to see the range come to life.

“This launch will shake-up the category, adding vibrancy and great taste. Shoppers typically perceive handheld savoury pastries as a convenient way to refuel , but we’ve identified a gap in the market to bring fun and full-on flavour back to the category with our World Flavours Parcels.”

Pukka has a proven track record of launching bold flavour combinations, with recent innovations including Pepperoni Pizza, Doner Kebab and All Day Breakfast. In fact, over the past year, Pukka NPD has added £4.5 million to the category and brand.

Fisher added: “We’re constantly looking for ways to revolutionise and redefine the category and, given that everything we do is rooted in full-on flavour, consumers trust us and have given us permission to explore the flavours that the world has to offer.

“From the fiery feasts of Mexico to the colourful creations of the Caribbean, we’re celebrating real people, real food and real lives in a distinctively Pukka way. This new range not only invites a younger audience to explore savoury pastries, but also makes these exciting flavours accessible to our loyal fans who may not have tried them before.”

The Pukka World Flavours range – including the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Parcel, Mexican Beef Parcel and Indian Spiced Vegetable Parcel – will be available in convenience and wholesale channels. To make the launch unmissable, it will be supported with marketing activity across PR, digital and shopper – as well as a brand TV advertising campaign.
