Our take on Sainsburys

Written by us, from the labels. Never written, reviewed or paid for by the brand.

Sainsbury's own-brand food spans 59 points, from 14 to 73, across 5 rated foods, averaging 37/100 (Poor) and ranking 256 of 290. That average is not a useful number.

The top of the range reaches 73/100 - a genuinely decent label with named meat and declared percentages. The bottom scores near zero, built on unnamed derivatives and unspecified cereals.

Both sit on the same aisle, often at similar prices. The cheapest is about £0.12 a day.

This is exactly why we rate foods rather than brands. A shopper trusting the supermarket badge here is picking close to at random, and the difference between the best and worst choice is larger than the difference between most brands on this site.

Look up the individual product before you buy.
