If you're not a fan of spicy food, don't worry, because Sriracha isn't in the 'hot' category, but in the 'mild' level. The new sauce is perfect for those who would rather taste the flavour than just the spiciness.

It provides that rich, tomatoey flavour with a sweet kick of heat to “enliven your senses”, making your chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and cheesy fries extra flavourful.
