Overview
- The range is aimed at customers eating less due to treatments such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, offering salads, breads, yoghurt bowls and chicken meals designed to deliver more fibre, vitamins and minerals per bite.
- M&S says its nutritionists created the recipes with input from the British Nutrition Foundation to help address nutrient shortfalls and digestive issues such as constipation linked to reduced intake.
- The launch follows Morrisons’ dedicated Small & Balanced ‘GLP‑1 friendly’ line, while Nestlé and Haleon have introduced products targeted at people consuming smaller portions.
- Use of GLP‑1 drugs in the UK has climbed sharply, with about 1.5 million people estimated to access treatment privately and NHS England prescriptions up roughly 900% since 2020.
- Access could widen after US regulators approved an oral version of Wegovy, while health officials continue research into side effects that include potential pancreas‑related risks.
