The new product is gluten-free and has no artificial additives and preservatives, but the company insists that the it has the same "characteristic texture and spicy aroma" as their other puddings.

It's now on sale at Tesco Ireland, Dunnes Stores, SuperValu, Spar and Costcutter stores across the country.
