Tesco's Aldi Price-Matched Products Found to Contain Less of Main Ingredients

BBC Panorama investigation reveals significant ingredient discrepancies in Tesco's price-matched items compared to Aldi's equivalents.

  • Tesco's chicken nuggets contain 39% chicken, while Aldi's have 60%, according to BBC Panorama.
  • The investigation found that 38 out of 122 Tesco products surveyed had at least five percentage points less of the main ingredient than their Aldi counterparts.
  • Tesco's price-matched products like chicken kievs, cottage pies, and squash were found to have lower proportions of their main ingredients.
  • Tesco defends its price-matching strategy, stating that higher ingredient proportions do not necessarily indicate better quality.
  • Despite the discrepancies, some Tesco products, such as fish fingers and coleslaw, were found to contain more of the main ingredient than Aldi's versions.
