Dietary Specials, Tesco and Good News

An update on the launch of some frozen Dietary Specials products into Tesco stores…

Adam Protheroe, Frozen Foods Buyer for Tesco, has sent the following email:

As recently communicated, I have launched a selected range of Frozen Dietary Specials products into a number of Tesco stores.

In an attempt to save you having to trawl the country looking for these lines, I thought I would publish the list of stores that are stocking the range.

The following lines are now available in the 411 stores shown on the attached list :

  • Dietary Specials 2 Steak Pies
  • Dietary Specials Beef Lasagne
  • Dietary Specials Yorkshire Puddings
  • Dietary Specials Sausage Rolls
  • Dietary Specials Shortcrust Pastry Block
  • Dietary Specials Margherita Pizza

These products can be found in the Frozen aisle within/next to the Vegetarian range.

I hope that by stocking these lines, I have helped to make your shopping experience easier….and ultimately more enjoyable!

And here’s the list of Tesco stores where you can find these products: Excel spreadsheet with list of stores for download

Sadly, the two Tesco stores I visit aren’t included on the list (and the Pepperoni pizza isn’t included on the list either). But I’m sure this will be helpful to many of you. Thanks Adam!

 

I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle…

    Ah, I’m in the same boat I see as neither of my nearest Tesco stores made the cut. Oh well, I’ll carry on doing a two-monthly trip to Sainsbury’s (which is 40 miles away) to stock up on frozen DS goodies…

    Hi Fi – yes, I sometimes do a big stock-up trip as well. But 40 miles (80 round trip) is quite a journey!

    I also find that I ‘pop in’ to other supermarkets regularly to see what’s on their shelves – they all seem to stock slightly different products, which is great, but time-consuming if you have to visit them all to get exactly what you want.

    Still no Pepperoni pizza available anywhere that I’ve found…

    Very exciting to find ds sausage rolls at my local Tesco saving me a drive to Sainsburys. Unfortunately they were unpriced, the bar code didn’t work and the duty manager said I couldn’t buy them because they didn’t know the price. Teh computer said ‘no’!

    Oh no, how annoying for you! You’d think it would be better for them to make a sale and keep a customer happy, even if there was a chance they took a small loss on that item… Selling them as a one-off at the equivalent price of normal sausage rolls would be one option!
