UK snack producer Burts has announced the launch of a new Cheddar & Caramelised Onion Chutney flavour for its ridge cut chips, alongside a packaging refresh.

The new flavour features a blend of locally sourced cheddar from Quicke’s Cheese Shop and sweet caramelised onion chutney, with deep ridges designed to hold more flavour for a bolder taste.

The refreshed packaging highlights the rich, distinctive flavours Burts is known for.

Sas Horscroft, head of marketing at Burts Snacks, said: “We’re excited to unveil the new Cheddar and Caramelised Onion Chutney flavour, a bold and irresistible addition to our ridges range. At the same time, our refreshed packaging brings the entire ridges range to life. It’s an exciting step forward for Burts as we continue to innovate and deliver exceptional snacking experiences.”

Burts' products are gluten-free and free from added MSG and artificial colours. The new flavours and updated packaging will be available at retailers nationwide this month.
