Tesco Reinstates Free Fruit for Kids Across 800+ Stores Through Jan. 13

The giveaway anchors a January healthy‑eating push responding to survey data showing few children meet five‑a‑day guidelines.

Overview

  • From December 30 to January 13, children can pick up free apples at checkouts in over 800 large UK supermarkets, with availability at 119 Click & Collect locations.
  • Tesco expects to hand out more than three million apples sourced from six British suppliers.
  • The offer is open to families without a purchase requirement, with boxes placed near checkouts at participating stores.
  • Starting January 12, selected customers will receive Clubcard Challenges to earn points on purchases of fresh and frozen produce, beans and pulses, canned fruit and veg, and dried fruit.
  • The campaign builds on Tesco’s Fruit & Veg for Schools programme, which supplied over 10 million portions to about 140,000 children in the last academic year.
