The chicken will be sourced from approved farms across Scotland, including Toux Farm at Fetterangus.
Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford said:
“I welcome this move by Tesco, particularly their sourcing of chickens from a local farm in Buchan. Morrisons supermarkets already use local meat through Woodhead Brothers at Turriff, so it is good to see Tesco following their lead.
“I am pleased to see that Tesco is recognising what our quality local butchers have known for decades, which is that quality meat is best sourced locally.”
