What’s New At The Supermarket This Month
All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
Duck Hoisin, £3 | Planted
Finally, a plant-based product that tastes like meat and doesn’t contain a long list of additives and preservatives. Vegan brand Planted creates ‘meat’ using only a few ingredients and has now launched a plant-based alternative to duck, made from peas, oats and sunflower – and fortified with vitamins. Fry the pieces in a little oil or cook in an air fryer for five or six minutes on a medium heat until caramelised and warmed through. Perfect for Asian-inspired dishes, try it with a dash of hoisin sauce in Chinese pancakes or a wrap.

Miso Ramen Broth, £2.65 | Itsu
Expanding on its collection of gyozas, bao buns and instant noodles, Itsu has created a range of carton broths so you can create authentic ramen at home. Each one is made with reduced stock and ingredients, like chilli, lime, ginger and miso paste. There are three flavours to choose from: Classic, Chicken and Miso. Once it’s heated through, add noodles, rice, gyozas, veg, soft-boiled eggs – anything goes.

Butter, 4 For £12.99 | All Things Butter
King of butter Thomas Straker has amassed over 2m followers on TikTok, partly thanks to his viral ‘All Things Butter series’, in which he creates decadent dishes using lots of – you guessed it – butter. Now, Straker and his best friend Toby Hopkinson have launched an organic butter brand. Available at Ocado, current flavours include Salted, Unsalted, Garlic & Herb, and Chilli. We recommend drizzling the latter over everything from noodles and pasta to grilled veg and seafood.

Marinade Seasoning | Mob x Flava It!
Mob has teamed up with seasoning brand Flava It! to create a range of sachets available exclusively at Aldi stores. Created to help you make affordable meals at home that are packed full of flavour, each sachet is inspired by one of Mob’s recipes from its platform and cookbooks. Packets contain ground spices and flavourings for dishes like honey and chorizo chilli con carne, creamy halloumi curry, and triple chilli pasta. We rate the pulled chicken taco spice mix, which includes dried chipotle chili, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and ancho chilli for a quick midweek meal.
Available at Aldi stores nationwide
Bites Chocolate, £4.99 | Häagen-Dazs
When you fancy a sweet treat but don’t want pure ice-cream, Häagen-Dazs Bites are the perfect post-dinner snack. The ice-cream brand has turned its tubs into Salted Caramel Bites and Chocolate Bites. Imagine Häagen-Dazs ice-cream with a soft sauce centre, coated with chocolate and topped with roasted nuts. We like the chocolate flavour – a perfect sharing dessert when you don’t have time to cook for guests.

Hand Cooked Potato Crisps, £3.75 | Rustle
The team behind Pots & Co and Notto Pasta bars have branched out into luxury crisps. Made from Opal and Lady Claire potatoes grown in Croatia, the crisps are fried in sunflower oil at a low temperature, so they don’t absorb too much oil – resulting in a lighter, crunchy snack. Having launched a couple of months ago, the brand has already won two Great Taste awards. Flavours include Sweet Pepper, Truffle and Green Jalapeño.

Coca-Cola Lemon, 24 For £14.50 | Coca-Cola
Regular readers – and TikTok followers – will know some members of the SL team are never too far from a can of Diet Coke, so we were pleased to hear Coca-Cola has relaunched its lemon flavour. With original and zero-sugar options, it joins the brand’s other flavours: vanilla, lime and cherry. Just in time for warmer days ahead, this has summer written all over it.

Organic Mighty Matcha, 10 Pods For £4 | Rokit
Rokit Health has had a rebrand, and created organic matcha pods that can be popped into an espresso machine. Each one contains matcha powder made from specially grown and ground tea leaves from Japan so you can enjoy an authentic cup at home. With bitter notes and a creamy sweetness, pods can be enjoyed on their own or with milk for a matcha latte.

Granola Butter, £6.99 | Oat Avenue
Bored of peanut butter or want to try a nut-free alternative? This new granola butter contains just a few ingredients: oats, organic coconut sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Oats are roasted and ground before everything else is added, resulting in a moreish butter for those with nut allergies or coeliacs. Spread it on toast, enjoy it on porridge or drizzle over rice cakes. You can also use it in baking and smoothies, thanks to its smooth consistency and sweet taste.

Sauces, £4.69 | Nojo
London-based brand Nojo caught our eye when it launched a few years ago with its cool packaging and zingy flavours. Now, you can buy the sauces from Marks & Spencer and other supermarkets around the country. There are also two new flavours: White Miso cooking sauce, an umami marinade for fish, chicken and rice; and the Tahini Dressing for salads and grilled meats. All sauces are gluten free and don’t contain any artificial flavourings, colourings and preservatives.
