The third annual assessment of the major supermarkets has just been released by the national Consumer Council entitled “Short-changed on health? How supermarkets can affect your chances of a healthy diet”.
Areas covered in the report include:
The results were as follows:
1st |
Sainsbury’s |
Joint 2nd |
Tesco and Waitrose |
4th |
M&S |
Joint 5th |
Asda and Co-op |
7th |
Somerfield |
8th |
Morrisons |
It was found that the level of knowledge by staff in stores was very low. For example, 5 out of the 8 gave the wrong information as to whether canned and frozen sweetcorn could count towards your ‘5-a-day’. The report concludes that staff training in health and nutrition is urgently needed if customers are to be given the correct advice.
