Marks & Spencer has launched a dedicated food assortment suitable for people taking weight-loss injections as the use of such medication rises.
Marks & Spencer’s new range, called Nutrient Dense, was developed by the retailer’s chefs and nutritionists, and is described as “ideal for those eating less due to age, lifestyle or weight loss medication – helping to ensure fibre, vitamins and minerals are consumed, despite smaller appetites”.
The 20-product range includes salads, snacks and meals made with “wholefoods and store cupboard ingredients”, and each product contains at least one of 10 micronutrients, such as vitamin D, which many people lack in their diets.
M&S head of food nutrition Grace Ricotti, 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 minerals 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 range goes on sale from January 5.
