The Muller brand was the UK’s supermarkets’ most promoted brand for a second month running, according to just-food’s Promo Tracker.

In keeping with figures from April, just over 90% of the yoghurt brand’s SKUs were on promotion last month.

The Promo Tracker, whose exclusive data is supplied by mySupermarket-Insights.co.uk, showed that in May, Danone’s Activia brand also remained in the second-place spot with 86.9% of SKUs on promotion.

Pringles, on 78%, Northern Foods’ pizza brand Goodfella’s, on 72.7% and Mars Inc-owned Seeds of Change on 71.6% made up the rest of the top five discounted brands.

The just-food Promo Tracker shows the most-promoted food brands and food categories in a calendar month at the four food retailers monitored by mySupermarket-Insights.co.uk – Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Ocado.

The data showed that Tesco led the way in the highest percentage of discounted SKUs with 35.6%, up from 32.2% last month. Sainsbury’s followed on 27%.
