General Mills Launches First Ramen Noodles with Old El Paso and Totino’s — a Bold, Slurp-Worthy Twist on Comfort Food!

With social media buzz already building, now it’s official — these wild new ramen flavors are landing first at Walmart in April.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ever looked at a bowl of ramen and thought, this could use a Tex-Mex twist? Or maybe a little pizza? General Mills is making its debut in the world of noodle-filled comfort food with its first ramen varieties, bringing crave-worthy flavors from two fan-favorite brands — Old El Paso and Totino’s.

The internet went wild with speculation about the pizza-inspired Totino’s Ramen Noodles back in January. The product is officially hitting shelves this April and General Mills is cranking up the flavor by also introducing Old El Paso Ramen Noodles to spice up the instant noodle aisle.

Meet the unbeatable flavors in these mouth-watering varieties:

  • Old El Paso Ramen Noodles – Fajita: A rich, smoky blend of bell peppers, onions, and cumin in a hearty chicken broth.
  • Old El Paso Ramen Noodles – Beef Birria: Slow-cooked beef flavors with just the right balance of spice and umami.
  • Totino’s Ramen Noodles – Cheese Pizza: All the classic cheesy, tomatoey Totino’s goodness — now in noodle form.
  • Totino’s Ramen Noodles – Buffalo-Style Chicken Pizza: A spicy, tangy mix of buffalo sauce, chicken, and cheese for a bold new twist on a favorite.

Ramen is no stranger to viral trends, with more than 174 million posts about “instant ramen” recipes lighting up TikTok. Now, General Mills is giving noodle lovers a chance to spice up their ramen — blending the zesty, flavor-packed flavors of Totino’s and Old El Paso into a deliciously unexpected instant ramen experience.

“We know our fans are constantly looking for exciting new ways to enjoy their favorite flavors,” said MC Comings, VP, Business Unit Director at General Mills. “Think melty, saucy Totino’s Pizza Rolls vibes mixed with the brothy goodness of ramen. And if Tex-Mex is more your style, Old El Paso’s got your back with bold, spicy flavors that’ll wake up your taste buds.”

General Mills is officially rolling the products out to Walmart locations nationwide and Walmart.com this April, offering a surprising and tasty way to stir up your mealtime routines. Get ready to slurp, savor, and noodle your way to comfort food bliss. For more fun updates, follow @OldElPaso and @Totinos on Instagram.
