Food Brands Now (FBN) and Carlsberg Britvic have entered an exclusive licensing partnership to launch Tango Apple & Orange Glazed Boneless Chicken Bites across Iceland Foods and The Food Warehouse stores nationwide starting 1st September 2026.

Disrupting the frozen aisle

Dubbed “the tangiest of chicken bites,” the new release marks a major brand extension for Tango into frozen food. The launch taps into growing consumer demand for bold, crossover food experiences and fun sharing options for match days, family nights in, and social gatherings.

• Product range: Tango Orange Glazed Boneless Chicken Bites and Tango Apple Glazed Boneless Chicken Bites.
• Flavour profile: boneless chicken bites with a crispy golden coating, paired with a choice of vibrant, zingy orange glaze or sticky apple glaze.
• Pricing: £3.75 per pack (or 3 for £10 across the estate).

Cross-category brand expansion

The launch reinforces Food Brands Now’s position as a leading UK food and drink brand licensing agency, taking established drinks brands into new supermarket aisles.

“Tango is the perfect wingman to chicken. Bold fruit flavour, unmistakable Tang and a taste experience so intense, ‘you know when you’ve been Tango’d,'” said David Laidler, brand director of carbonates at Carlsberg Britvic. “This partnership takes Tango into a new space, bringing flavour intensity from the drinks aisle to mealtimes.”

Oliver Gilding, sales & licensing director at Food Brands Now, added: “Tango has always stood for bold, unapologetic flavour, so we wanted to create a product that delivers that same experience in food. These really are the tangiest of chicken bites packed with the unmistakable punch of Tango Apple and Tango Orange in every mouthful. It’s a fun, disruptive innovation that brings something genuinely different to the category.”
