Itsu Expands Grocery Range with Seven New Products
Itsu has added seven new items to its existing 70-strong grocery range. The new products include “Broth for Noodles” in Beef Pho and Sesame Chicken flavors, each priced at £4.50 for one litre. These broths are designed to pair well with Itsu’s new four-packs of dry Rice Noodles (£1.60 for 180g) and wet Udon Noodles (£1.45 for 250g). Additionally, three new cooking sauces—Gochujang, Korean BBQ, and Teriyaki—are available for £2.50 each for a 200ml bottle. These products are currently on Tesco shelves and will be introduced to Sainsbury’s and Waitrose later this summer. Louise Crighton, senior brand manager at Itsu, highlighted the convenience of these new meal solutions, aimed at making authentic broths accessible at home.
