HP Sauce - Varieties

Varieties

HP Sauce is available in a range of formats and sizes, including the iconic 9oz or 255g glass bottle, squeezy plastic bottle, and TopDown bottle.

Also the ingredients vary markedly. In 2007 for example the varieties from USA and Canada were less concentrated and more fruity. In addition, a number of other products exist under the HP brand.

• HP Fruity is a milder version of the Original brown sauce, using a blend of fruits including oranges and mango to give a milder, tangier taste. This variety has been renamed "HP Chicken & Rib" in Canada and the US (though it can be found in some stores with the original name).
• HP Bold is a spicier variant in Canada.
• HP BBQ Sauce is a range of barbecue sauces, and is the UK's best selling barbecue sauce product.
• In March 2008, HP also announced the launch of HP Steak Sauce.
• HP Guinness is a limited edition recipe which includes the famous Irish Stout.
• In the summer of 2008 a version with less salt (25%) and sugar (30%) than the original HP Sauce was released.
• Since 2011 HP sauce has been manufactured with a new reduced sodium recipe 0.8g per 100ml, the traditional recipe was 1.2g sodium per 100mls. This was a direct result of Government policy with regard to salt levels in food.

Consumers report that the taste is now more sour or even tastes "off", which has led to complaints to Heinz.
