A second change will come in October
Tesco confirms change for shoppers buying ham or bacon from Monday
Tesco has confirmed a big change for shoppers buying ham or bacon from Monday – before another change in October. Tesco has launched an Own Brand ‘Made Without Added Nitrites’ range in response to growing customer demand for ham and bacon products without added nitrites.
With online searches for products without added nitrites rising by over 360% year-on-year, the new range caters to customers who are looking to avoid nitrites in their diet while still enjoying all their favourite products.
With options including streaky bacon to top breakfast pancakes and wafer-thin ham for sandwiches, the new range is made from 100% British pork and has been specially prepared to deliver great quality and taste.
