The first products, Lean Pork Sausages and Lean Chicken Chipolatas, both contain 60% meat and up to 29% haricot beans to combine, ABP says, a high protein sausage with less than 3% fat and a relatively high fibre content.
The sausages are now available in 400 Asda stores across the UK.
Darren Jones, commercial director at ABP’s UK arm, said: “This is a first to market launch for a premium health brand and will offer genuine newness and innovation into the meat category.
