M&S launches nutrient rich range for customers on weight loss medication
M&S is launching a new range of nutrient rich salads, snacks and meals to help people who are taking weight loss medication.
Called Nutrient Dense, the range includes 20 products that have been developed with M&S nutritionists to make it easier for customers to meet their daily recommended amounts of fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Each product contains at least one of ten micronutrients such as vitamin D, iron, folate and vitamin B12. The meals also have the grams of fibre they contain listed on the pack and are all calorie controlled.
The range was developed with a ‘Nutrient Dense nutrition criteria’ which was made in consultation with the British Nutrition Foundation.
Subscribe to TRBM&S said the meals are suitable for people working to meet their health goals, those with a lower appetite, and people taking weight loss medication.
Grace Ricotti, M&S head of food nutrition, said: “Our Nutrient Dense range is perfect for customers looking to support their health as each recipe is packed with the key nutrients we all need in our diets.
“With the increase in popularity of weight-loss injections, a reduced appetite can mean missing out on important nutrients and that’s why nutrient density is so important.
“These new meals, snacks and drinks can help everyone get more fibre, vitamins and mineral in their diet.
“We challenged ourselves to make products that are denser in nutrients than calories, so every single mouthful is packed full of more of the good stuff we all need.”
The Nutrient Dense range will be available in M&S Foodhalls from 5 January.
