Stronger Starts Food Impact Report
In February 2025, Tesco Ireland launched a report by IPSOS B&A that provides insights into how the Tesco Stronger Starts Food programme delivers significant health benefits for children in Ireland.
The report tells us that Tesco Stronger Starts Food is contributing towards a significant improvement in children’s health and wellbeing, improved educational outcomes, and positive changes in how families engage and eat together using the ingredients in our Stronger Starts fresh food packs.
We also know that Stronger Starts Food complements existing school programmes by providing healthier food options for consumption at home. Over half of Stronger Starts school educators surveyed, reported a strong increase in participating children’s school attendance, energy levels, attention span, motivation for learning, and academic performance.
In addition to supporting children who need it most, the programme has provided significant financial relief for participating families. The report indicates that 8 out of 10 families noted a positive impact on their food and grocery budget, while the programme also helped to foster greater family engagement, encouraging children to help in meal preparation and bringing families together.
