Less fat
less sugar
less salt
and tastes
great!
More healthy eating options
than ever before…
If you're looking for inspiring and convenient
ways to help your family eat more healthily
in 2007, this leaflet has lots of information
about our healthy product ranges and some
of the exciting new products that will be
appearing on our shelves this year.
These ranges are designed to help make
it easier for you to choose healthy, great
tasting food. Look out for them in store now.
Healthier and lower
calorie versions of many of your favourite
foods and delicious ready meals.
Microwavable ready-prepared meals using
natural fresh ingredients.
There are over 85 products in the Tesco Organic range from biscuits to
pasta, if you and your family prefer to eat organically whenever possible.
Down-to-earth wholefood ingredients with ideas
to bring them to life.
A little help to keep all the family happy while eating well.
We created the Healthy Living range so you can enjoy
healthier versions of some of your favourite foods and
ready meals that taste delicious too.
Our improved Healthy Living range is now healthier
than ever. We've reduced the salt, sugar and fat content
even further, without losing any of the flavour.
Here's a taster of just some of the improvements; we've reduced
the fat in our curries by using coconut cream instead of fattier
coconut powder and we've cut the salt in our frozen deep-pan meat-feast pizza by
40% and they're still as mouth-watering as ever!
New for 2007 There are over 45 fantastic Healthy Living ready meals to choose from
including three brand new dishes - Carrot, Swede and Basil, Chicken with Tomato and Basil,
& Cottage Pie.
All our Healthy Living products have:
• Less than 3% or half the fat of a Tesco standard product
…and many more healthy foods
As well as all these healthy choices, you'll also find the freshest
lean meat, poultry and fish, plus fresh fruit and vegetables
in all our stores.
Top Tip
Use a stronger Healthy
Living cheese and you'll need to
use a lot less.
• Either 10% less sodium than
a Tesco standard product or are
already a low sodium product
• No more added sugar than a Tesco standard product
• Easy to identify nutrition labels on the front of packs

Choosing
Organic
The Tesco Organic range gives you great

and additives. Organic also means that no
genetically modified (GM) food production
processes have been used.
A wider range and
a new look too
We now have over 85 competitively priced
organic products in the Tesco Organic Range

products as well as Organic wine, mustard,
quiche, biscuits, jam, peanut butter, ham and
even gin! There's distinctive new-look black

As more farmers are changing to

falling and there is much more choice for
you, the customer.
We're committed to making it more
affordable to choose organic. That's why
we've reduced the price of lots of organic
produce and last year alone we cut
the price of more than 250 organic

and vegetables in season
when they're cheaper and
freeze them.

fruits, pulses, seeds and nuts. They are rich in minerals,
nutrients and vitamins and many are also low-Gi, giving
healthier longer-lasting energy which can help control
hunger and weight.
Our Wholefood range has over 30 products and each pack tells you
how that particular wholefood can benefit your family's health.
Grains, nuts, seeds and fruits

The last thing we want is for your wholefoods to end up in the back of a
kitchen cupboard, so every pack has simple recipe ideas to help you get
the most out of these highly nutritious foods.

healthy food
for kids
Because kids can be fussy, we've
tried to make it easier for you to
give them healthy food that
they'll love. Our Kids Range
includes healthy meals, snacks,
lunchbox options and drinks for
5-10 year olds, all tried, tasted
and given the big thumbs up by
kids themselves.
Sneak in the good stuff
Every product in the Kids Range has a health benefit,
whether it's a great source of fibre, wholegrains or
5-a-day fruit and veg. Look for the Bia Kids range of
healthy chilled meals too, made with 100% Irish meat,
chicken and fresh vegetables.
Top Tip
If your kids aren't keen on veg,
try grating some cheese on top
or arrange them in the shape of
a face on the plate!
Keep out the bad stuff
Every product in our Kids range is free from artificial colours,
flavours and sweeteners and meets strict limits on sugar,
salt and fat. The nutritional labels show how many
calories and how much, sugar, fat, saturates (nonhealthy fat) and salt are contained in one serving. It
will also tell you what percentage that is of a child's
(not an adult's) Guideline Daily Amount.
Peanuts (Monkey nuts),
Beans, Lentils
Top Tip
Try mung and aduki beans in
soups, add chickpeas and lentils
to curries and give quinoa a go
instead of rice or cous cous.
