Walkers releases 2 new crisp flavours as part of core range

Now, Walkers has released two new permanent flavours, which will join its core range of crisps - Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken.

These new additions come following a year of "rigorous" testing of 63 different flavours.

Walkers said its research and development team had finally landed on two flavours "that are so delicious, they simply had to be added to the permanent lineup".

"Packing a punch of flavour, the new Masala Chicken provides a rich and spicy taste and with Tikka Masala being a firm favourite dish in the UK."

The two new flavours have already proven popular, with research showing consumers are more likely to buy Masala Chicken crisps (73%), compared to Prawn Cocktail (57%).

Meanwhile, Sticky Teriyaki (65%) proved more popular than the classic Cheese and Onion crisps (59%).
