The Sainsbury's Full on Fibre labelling system is the retailer's latest initiative that takes aim at consumer nutrition preferences and will help to strengthen its health commitment to shoppers.
The labeling system is debuting now on more than 500 products and will help shoppers to immediately recognize which foods will help them to reach their daily fiber intake goal. This comes as an important initiative given the very low level of consumers in the UK who actually get enough fiber everyday. The retailer will also be offering a series of discounts on fiber-rich foods like cherries, beans and oranges through June 23, 2026.
Chief Executive of Sainsbury's Simon Roberts spoke on the Full on Fibre labelling system saying, "Healthy eating shouldn’t feel difficult or complex – but for many families, it does. We know lots of people want to eat well but tight budgets, busy lives and confusing advice can make this feel overwhelming. We want to change that. We’re going further to make healthy everyday essentials great value at Sainsbury’s – beginning with fibre, fruit and veg – and tackling the confusion so customers can eat well without having to think too hard about it. We’re aiming to take away the complexity so good food becomes simple for everyone."
