Tesco is to launch a new sandwich based on the feedback of thousands of its UK customers, who have taken to Twitter and Facebook to vote in the grocer’s #MyTescoSandwich campaign.

The UK supermarket chain has released the Chicken with Honey and Lime sandwich as part of British Sandwich Week (10 – 16 May) after it received over 8,000 votes on social media.

Joy Armitage, social media and innovation director, dunnhumby said: “Co-creation is a core strategy of The Orchard at Tesco. It allows customers to add their voice to decisions which impact them, whether that be product ideation, range changes or store decisions.
