CAMDEN, N.J., April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- America's iconic o-shaped pasta is turning up the heat! Today, SpaghettiOs^® announces new Spicy Original made with Frank's RedHot^®. Featuring the distinct flavor of the #1 hot sauce in the world*, SpaghettiOs Spicy Original packs a mild-medium heat level that meets growing consumer demand for spicy food.
