“Another classic ruined”
Written on: 07/12/2012 by guyrwood (3 reviews written)
This has about half the ingredients of the original. It tastes vinegary and thin and definitely not as rich as the original. (read more)

“Now A Dreadful Product”
Written on: 24/10/2011
Since the change to a "lower Salt" receipe I think the sauce is absolutely revolting - sickly. bland and just not "HP". I wonder whether "Lower Salt" was just a ruse by an American Multinational to foist an inferior, cheaper quality product on us and hope we didn't notice. Won't be buying it in future and will also avoid other Heinz products in future. (read more)
“ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING”

I have always used HP in my cottage pies, as it spices it up lovely and is thicker than Worcester sauce. OMG it tasted like a mix of pie and ice cream YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! DO NOT BUY IT. (read more)
“Ruined”
Written on: 09/10/2011 by jetdae (1 review written)
I am aged 65 and have been eating HP sauce all my life. Now they've ruined it. It tastes bland and fruity. You might as well but any of the cheap imitations, the original special taste that made HP sauce stand out has gone completely. As it's generally eaten with breakfast, ie well salted fried eggs and bacon, the miniscule amount of salt in the sauce would make hardly any difference. Until they bring back the original recipe I can't see the point in paying a premium for a name. I... (read more)
“What have you done with the flavour?”
Written on: 11/09/2011
The flavour has changed recently and not for the better. At first I thought it was me, but friends and family say the same. Please bring back the original flavour (read more)

Nothing like the original. The first ingredient in real HP sauce is Malt Vinegar. The first ingredient in Heinz HP is water. Nothing more to be said. (read more)
“It had to happen - The HP Sauce we all were brought up...”
Written on: 05/02/2007 by GarryF (34 reviews written)
It had to happen - The HP Sauce we all were brought up on is no more. Production has shifted to the Netherlands, and proudly claims on the bottle "Packed by H.J Heinz".
It's now in a squeezy bottle, and it has the viscosity to match - just like Heinz squeezy salad cream.
You would wait with anticipation as "HP" the worlds best sauce crept down the inside of the Glass Bottle and finally produced a Big Dollop on your plate. Way too much for a bacon sandwich, but you dipped until it was all...

I agree! HP Sauce is best served from a glass bottle. That congealed gunk that formed around the bottle top (ahh - the memories); it takes me back!

As my last Bottle of Brummy HP Sauce comes to and end- yes I know its best before SEP 08- then my search for a British Made replacement has struck upon an equal. BRANSTON Brown Sauce with Branston Bite. OK - nothing will replace the Brummy HP- but Branston has that something that turns a bacon toastie into a feast. Give it a try. £1 in Asda.

Totally agree that HP sauce has been ruined. The reduced salt issue is not the reason in my view, they have changed (cheapened) the recipe in the move to Belgian production. The texture is wrong, the smell is wrong and it tastes sweet. Where is the old pepper and spice? There are now more HP alternatives in the shops - a jolly good thing. Bye bye HP sauce, the 'Original' was killed of many years ago.
