Meatball supplier Scan Foods is fusing traditional Swedish cuisine with Brazilian flavour with the launch of a new spicy meatball variant.

Hot & Spicy Swedish Meatballs, made with a Brazilian-inspired spice blend of chilli, coriander, cumin and jalepeno, will launch exclusively into Asda stores next month.

“Chilli products are showing good growth and are an obvious fit with meatballs,” said a spokeswoman for Scan.

The meatballs are expected to retail at about £2 for a 350g pack.

Swedish meatballs have been in the news recently after Ikea found horse DNA in its meatballs. Scan does not produce meatballs for Ikea.
