ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Can good VALUES be good VALUE?
We think so. From Fairtrade tea to free range eggs, our Essential Waitrose range comes with the high standards you'd expect at prices you wouldn't.
Essential eggs are free range
They are laid by free range hens with plenty of room to peck, perch and play
Essential milk is free range
Because it's from free range dairy cows that spend over half their year grazing outdoors
Essential for British meat
Always British beef and lamb
Essential beef and lamb is British all year round – from farmers who share our commitment to higher welfare
Higher welfare chicken
Essential fresh, frozen and prepared chicken is British and from birds reared to a bespoke set of animal welfare standards
Outdoor bred
fresh pork
Essential pork – including sausages, bacon, ham and gammon – are sourced from British farms where the pigs are born outside in the fresh air with lots of space to roam
Essential for responsible sourcing
Responsibly sourced fish
All our Essential fish, whether it’s fresh, canned, frozen or fingers, is responsibly sourced
