Limited edition flavour
The new pineapple Jaffa Cake has a normal cake base and covering of chocolate on the top, but the jelly layer in the middle is pineapple flavoured.
This new fruity flavour is a limited edition, and will be available alongside the orange flavour, and both the strawberry and lemon and lime flavours - which were originally limited editions, but became a permanent edition to the Jaffa Cakes offering.

The lemon and lime flavour Jaffa Cakes first popped up a few years ago, with McVities originally bringing the flavour out for Halloween, in special themed boxes.
They also caused controversy with some consumers, but in the middle of 2018 they came back by popular demand and now remain on shelves permanently.
In September 2018, the strawberry flavoured Jaffa Cakes first hit the shelves, returning once again in February 2019 after demand grew high enough. They are now available to purchase in Tesco, costing £1 for a pack of 10.
