Tesco has listed an increase in plant-based products as a factor in its future growth, along with the role of technology in its supermarkets, in a statement given to investors and city analysts.
As part of its plan to expand the vegan-friendly range, Tesco is introducing a plant-based ready meals brand called ‘Plant Chef’ which will increase the number of vegan products available at Tesco ten-fold, from 32 to 300.
It is also looking to prioritise local food producers with the help of its own wholesaler, Booker.
