Waitrose changes Food To Go range with packaging update and new meal deal options in all stores

The Food To Go range will also have updated recipes, delivering high-quality of food for all customers.

This comes as the supermarket promotes the use of higher welfare chicken, eggs, beef, lamb and pork in its sandwiches, salads and wraps.

The new packaging will feature bold and bright designs and detail its commitment to animal welfare.

It will also be easier to recycle as the supermarket reduces plastic and this should be rolled out by the end of February.

This comes as Waitrose introduced a meal deal for the first time in August.

Shoppers can pick a main, snack and drink for £5, with new options recently added.

​These include the Spicy Bean & Sweet Potato Wrap, No Chicken & Pesto Sandwich, Chicken Shawarma Wrap and salads such as Chicken, Harissa & Grains, Tuna & Sweetcorn Pasta and Chicken & Piri Piri Pasta.

Waitrose & Partners senior agriculture manager Jake Pickering said: “Waitrose is number one for animal welfare and the place to shop for quality, delicious British food.

"[Some] 100 per cent of our own label fresh meat, milk and shell eggs are sourced from British and Irish farmers and used as ingredients in our sandwiches, salads and wraps.

"Welfare standards often slip in other shops when it comes to ready-made lunch products but customers don't have to compromise at Waitrose.
