Tesco and Spoon Guru are now teaming up for a free-from shopping service that will help consumers with specialty diets, needs and lifestyle preferences filter to find products that meet their exact requirements.
When shopping online and in the Tesco app, consumers will soon be able to refine their searches for food by using filters to suggest low-salt, vegetarian and vegan options, as well as those that are suited to those with intolerances to items such as nuts or milk.
The launch of this new partnership with Spoon Guru comes at a time when Tesco is rapidly expanding its line of free-from food collections. The new free-from shopping service from Tesco and Spoon Guru will be available on Tesco's mobile app and online platform later this year.
