Greggs is to expand the range of health-focused products on its menu with the launch of new fresh pastas and salads.
Launching on 7 May, the new summer menu features a Prawn Layered Pasta Salad, and a Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta.
The food-to-go chain will also be launching a Chicken, Grains & Greens bowl topped with a free-range hard-boiled egg, alongside a Chicken Caesar Salad with Egg.
To tap into social media trends for ‘picky bits’, Greggs will be launching new Mini Sausage Rolls in selected shops across Scotland and the south east. Each portion will feature six bite-sized rolls of seasoned sausagemeat in puff pastry.
Greggs will also be rolling out new mango menu items, including a Mango Lemonade and a Mango & Passion Fruit Doughnut.
Meanwhile, returning menu items include the Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake, a Pesto Chicken Flatbread, and a BBQ Chicken & Bacon Pasta.
The menu items, which are priced between £1.40 and £4.25, will be available in shops nationwide, via Click+Collect on the Greggs app, and through delivery platforms Just Eat and Uber Eats.
The changes build on updates Greggs has already made to its menu, to provide a wider range of health-focused foods to customers.
In January, Greggs CEO Roisin Currie said there was “no doubt” weight-loss drugs had led to people looking for “smaller portions”, affecting the business’s bottom line.
To accommodate these changing preferences, the group said its innovation pipeline “reflected emerging dietary trends with the launch of turmeric and ginger shots, protein shakes and an egg pot, broadening choice for customers looking for quick, healthy, high-protein options”.
In addition, Greggs partnered with research and innovation foundation Nesta last month to develop a method for measuring the healthiness of food sales.
The collaboration will see the food-to-go chain report performance against this measure and set a target to deliver improvement by the end of 2030.
