These items will be available to purchase nationwide in Tesco.

Pret A Manger announced the expansion of its grocery range with two new ketchups, available for purchase from over 700 Tesco supermarkets and online.

Meanwhile, the new Korean Style Ketchup was previously added to Pret’s Korean Chicken Baguette, and is made with gochujang (chilli paste), soy sauce, chilli and garlic.


The two new items continue Pret’s expansion into consumer-packaged goods as part of the business’ transformation programme.
