TESCO has exclusively revealed the top 20 products most commonly purchased by shoppers in the county - and the results may come as a surprise.

Shoppers in Devon are eating healthily to live healthily, according to the latest data.

Oonagh Turnbull, Head of Health and Sustainable Diet Campaigns, said: “The trend in what Devon people are buying most of at our stores has taken more of a turn towards the healthy option.

“Nutrition has become important for customers, with the majority of them putting an emphasis on good-quality fruit and vegetables.

“A lot of this is down to people having an enthusiasm for home-cooked meals and for experimenting with what they prepare in the kitchen.

“We’re all aware that eating a healthy diet can help to reduce our risk of developing coronary heart disease and stop us from gaining too much weight.

“That’s why we at Tesco are always keen to promote the understanding that having a balance of different foods to provide all the nutrients your body needs is key when it comes to healthy living.”
