Items including chicken nuggets, blackcurrant squash and chicken kievs were found to contain less of their main ingredient compared to their Aldi equivalents, according to the study carried out last month. We constantly review the quality of our products, and we have clear processes in place to ensure that the hundreds of products that are included are comparable with those sold at Aldi Tesco spokesman Twelve Tesco products were found to have more of the main ingredient. The five Aldi price-matched products found to have the largest difference in the proportion of their main ingredient were chicken nuggets, chicken kievs, chilli con carne, cottage pies, and apple and blackcurrant squash. While Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons also offer Aldi price-matched products, BBC Panorama did not find clear evidence of a pattern of consistent differences in the amounts of main ingredients in their items compared with the discounter’s equivalents.
