Tesco misleading shoppers
The trading standards claim that TESCO a supermarket chain in Britain is misleading customers over the nutritional and health benefits of a series of products in stores throughout the country.

Trading standards officers have found more than 20 alleged failings after an eight-week study testing their products.

Among the findings of trading standards officers were:
• Own-brand Tesco Kids pizza labelled as having “controlled sodium” — suggesting low salt — which contained 10 times the amount of salt allowed for “reduced salt” foods.
• An own-brand cereal with “controlled sugar” that was almost one-third sugar.
• A Tesco juice drink labelled as having “added vitamin C” that, when tested, was found to contain only a tiny amount of the vitamin — and far less than that advertised.
• Frozen lamb mince contaminated with traces of pork.
• Fresh leaf spinach with almost double the permitted level of nitrates.
• A chicken sandwich contained 57% more salt than stated on its label.
