The partnership is claimed to be a first-of-its-kind deal in the UK grocery retail sector.
Spoon Guru CEO Markus Stripf said: “We know from our own research that 54% of UK adults followed a diet in 2016.
“From inception, our goal at Spoon Guru was to support the millions of people who struggle with intolerances, allergies and specific dietary needs and we are thrilled that Tesco recognises this and is partnering with us to evolve a game-changing solution for the population’s changing dietary needs.”
