The Plant Chef range is being extended by Tesco, adding five new vegan items onto shelves, as more people are purchasing frozen food

Supermarket giant Tesco have announced that they are extending their Plant Chef range, as data has revealed that a third of the UK is buying more frozen food, with many choosing to do so to cut back on food waste.

Data from the supermarket found that a fifth (19 percent) of UK adults who had not previously bought frozen food started to do so to save money during the cost of living crisis. Tesco Executive Chef Jamie Robinson has said customers should ‘embrace’ frozen food in 2023.

The new items will come at a time when many are taking part in the ‘Veganuary’ challenge, with Tesco giving people the chance to choose from five more vegan items on their shelves now.
