The retailer has invested in its stores with a range of new items, giving more food options for shoppers.
It has also brought in new packaging that cut back on plastic waste and make products easier to recycle.
Tesco rolled out new mince packaging that will cut back on 70 per cent of plastic.
New vacuum packed 'pillow packs' that feature less packaging have been trialled.

This was seen on Tesco Beef Lean Steak Mince 5 per cent fat and Tesco Beef Mince 500g 20 per cent fat.
The new packaging is smaller in size and easily recyclable at home.
Tesco commercial director for Fresh Dom Morrey said: “As well as looking for great value when they shop, customers want to see less plastic packaging in their trolleys. Pillow packs are a win-win: they keep the mince in perfect condition while requiring much less plastic.
“Removing or reducing unnecessary plastic is an important way that Tesco can reduce its environmental impact. We're proud of what we have done so far but continue to look for ways to do more."

Tesco lead bakery product development manager Sarah Donovan said: “Times are changing in the baking world, and we’re seeing the emergence of an adventurous new type of shopper who is eager to try more premium artisan varieties of bread and sweet treats.
“But we don’t believe that shoppers should have to pay high prices for artisan bakery items, which is why we’ve launched a new range of great quality products baked daily in store.”
