Overview
- The three £40 kits are available in 380 stores and online, with Tesco saying the price is up to £30 lower than other retailers.
- Developed with Newfoundland Diagnostics, the launch extends a partnership that previously brought self-diagnostic kits to Tesco in 2023.
- The fertility kit measures AMH from a mailed blood sample, the testosterone kit checks total testosterone, and the HbA1c kit tracks average blood sugar.
- Tesco presents the rollout as enabling preventative checks without appointments, which it says could help reduce demand on NHS services.
- Coverage cautions that home testing varies in quality and should not replace guidance from a qualified clinician, especially after unexpected results.
