Sainsbury's is set to launch its new summer food and drink range, with premium "Taste the Difference" products arriving in stores from late April through May 2025.

The range includes premium beef ribs, pork sharing platters and flavourful chicken kebabs, all launching from April 30.


The star of the range is the Taste the Difference Hickory Smoked Dino Beef Ribs, priced at £19 for a substantial 1.49kg portion.

Coated in a warm paprika rub, the ribs are smoked with hickory wood chips and slow-cooked for six hours, finished with a luxurious smokehouse barbecue glaze.

Inspired by American BBQ traditions from Tennessee, Kansas City and Carolina, it includes pulled pork, riblets, belly bites and smoked sausages.

Also entering stores is the Taste the Difference Mighty Mexican Chicken Kebab (£6.50), which features tender chicken chunks marinated in chilli and lime with a crunchy crumb coating and fiery chipotle sauce.

For those preferring Indian flavours, the Butter Chicken Kebab (£7) offers succulent thigh fillets in aromatic spices, smothered in smoked butter and creamy curry sauce.

Also joining the BBQ range are Hot Honey Pork Belly Slices (£5.50), rubbed with smoked paprika and chipotle, then glazed with wildflower honey, habanero and lime.

Sainsbury's is also enhancing its lunch offerings with new Taste the Difference options.

The Mexican Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad (£4.50) features roasted sweet potatoes in a smoky chipotle dressing, offering a fresh and zesty lunchtime choice.

For £4.25, the limited-edition Grazing Platter combines sun-dried tomatoes, Nocellara olives and spicy Sarta chorizo.
