GB: Tesco expands plant-based food range for Veganuary – How big are customers on going vegan?
Tesco has introduced new vegan items to its ‘Plant Chef’ frozen food range, right in time for Veganuary. The grocer has launched meat-free versions of chicken breasts, hot dogs and chicken garlic kievs, and fish-free cakes with melt and goujons. The meals range from £1.75 to £2.30.
What do Tesco shoppers think about including plant-based food in their diets?
According to YouGov Profiles - which covers demographic, psychographic, attitudinal and behavioral consumer metrics - 39% of the supermarket’s current customers agree that they “are open to substituting meat/dairy products with plant-based alternatives.” About as many of the general population (41%) agree with the sentiment.
Tesco’s expansion of its plant-based food range is supported by bringing out a meal planner tool tailored for Veganuary.
When it comes to chilled food at large, Profiles data shows that food quality is the top motivator (62%) for Tesco’s shoppers. Good value for money (58%), taste and freshness of the products (54% each) and previous experience (46%) wrap up the top five reasons behind Tesco’s customers buying chilled food.
