The report outlines the steps Tesco is taking to ensure shoppers can choose healthy, sustainable and affordable food. The British Nutrition Foundation will further partner with Tesco with a series of regional consultations bringing together key stakeholders across the food landscape.
Key findings from the report include:
- 3.3m customers shopped 10% more healthy products in 2022 compared to 2021
- 500,000 more customers shopped at least 65% healthy products in 2022 compared to 2021
- Tesco has removed 71 billion calories from their products
- 52% of Tesco’s own brand ready meals now contain at least one of your five a day
Elaine Hindal, chief executive of the British Nutrition Foundation, said: “As a small non-profit, we value our collaboration with industry as it gives us the opportunity to work together, and improve healthier options for the general public to choose from.
“We are proud to be a contributor in Tesco’s initiative that aims to improve the UK’s food environment. We are excited to see change that can help close the current health inequalities gap in the society.”
