H hi GrantGam, yes I did find nutritional values on the Tesco website. Thank you.

Hello, just been down to Tesco and the oranges prepacked, green seedless grapes, strawberries prepacked etc, do not seem to have nutritional data on them, unless it's me picking the un labelled ones up. I also do not normally pick single items of fruit or vegetables.

Hello everyone, Last week I was diagnosed of having type 2 diabetes. It was kind of a shock, even though (I admit) am over weight. Now at the moment, my GP has put us onto 1x 500mg metformin tablet to be taking with my breakfast in the...
