Waitrose’s BLT finds flavour with sandwich taste judges

Judges scoured 11 high street shops and supermarkets to sample their take on the nation’s five favourite fillings and analyse their nutritional data.

Waitrose’s £2.50 BLT triumphed overall in the Good Housekeeping survey with its generous filling, containing plenty of bacon, good amount of fibre and surprisingly low calorie and salt count impressing the panel.

The magazine’s consumer director Caroline Bloor said: “We all know that the healthiest sandwiches are rarely the tastiest and the tastiest are often far from healthy, but you can achieve a balance.

“Waitrose has delivered this – as well as being reasonably priced.”

Bradford-based supermarket Morrisons beat its rivals in the egg mayonnaise category while the Co-operative ruled the roost when it came to chicken and bacon butties.

Boots picked up the prize for the best cheese sandwich while the M&S Count On Us range had the winning ham salad.
