Superlist UK Health 2021

How do English supermarkets promote health using price promotions?

For this superlist we evaluate all promotions of food products in the online stores of the four biggest UK supermarkets - Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco. We distinguish the healthy from the unhealthy promotions to compare how these supermarkets encourage healthy and unhealthy consumption.
