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!

5 Choosing Organic The Tesco Organic range gives you great natural taste and guarantees that your food has been in contact with far fewer chemicals 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 including fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy products as well as Organic wine, mustard, quiche, biscuits, jam, peanut butter, ham and even gin! There's distinctive new-look black and green packaging too, so it's even easier to find in store. As more farmers are changing to organic farming, the price of organic food is 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 grocery products. Top Tip Buy organic fruit and vegetables in season when they're cheaper and freeze them.

6 A whole lot of health benefits Wholefoods are natural, unprocessed foods such as dried 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.

Grains, nuts, seeds and fruits...and how to use them 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.

Look for the Bia Kids range of healthy chilled meals too, made with 100% Irish meat, chicken and fresh vegetables.
