Tesco Reduced Sugar and Salt Baked Beans and Sainsbury's Reduced Sugar & Salt Baked Beans both list 0.29g salt per 100g, the lowest figure among the retailer products compared here. Tesco offers a 420g tin, while Sainsbury's offers a 4 × 400g pack; if sugar claims or delivery substitutions matter too, check the exact recipe and any replacement before accepting it.
If beans are a frequent cupboard staple, compare salt per 100g and the amount you normally serve. A reduced-salt claim describes a change from a reference recipe, not necessarily the lowest salt figure on the shelf.
Reduced sugar and no added sugar are different claims. Read the ingredient list if sugar or sweeteners affect which tin you choose.
If the chosen salt figure matters, check any proposed substitute against the original tin. Tesco and Sainsbury's say substitutes may be offered when ordered groceries are unavailable.
Start with salt per 100g so tins of different sizes can be compared, then check the recipe, pack format and delivery choices that matter to your order.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Salt content | Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's each list 0.29g salt per 100g; Waitrose & Partners lists 0.30g, ASDA Groceries 0.34g and Ocado lists 0.40g for Heinz No Added Sugar Beanz. Check the serving size as well as the per-100g figure. | I want to compare the salt in the portion I will eat, rather than rely on the words “reduced salt”. |
| Sugar and ingredients | Check whether the exact tin says reduced sugar or no added sugar, then read its ingredients if you wish to avoid sweeteners. ASDA's reduced-salt beans and Heinz No Added Sugar Beanz use no-added-sugar claims; Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose Essential describe reduced-sugar recipes. | Lower salt matters to me, but I also want to know which sugar claim and ingredients come with the recipe. |
| Pack format | Compare the amount you will use with Tesco's 420g tin, Sainsbury's 4 × 400g pack, ASDA's 4 × 410g pack and Waitrose Essential's 220g tin. Check the selected pack rather than assuming every format has the same label. | A smaller tin may fit one meal; for several meals, I would check whether a multipack suits how often I use beans. |
| Delivery substitutes | Check the retailer's substitution setting when ordering and compare any offered replacement's nutrition panel. Tesco and Sainsbury's say customers can refuse a substitute at delivery. | I would rather check a replacement than accept a similar-looking tin with a different salt figure. |
A reduction is measured against a reference recipe. ASDA Groceries lists 0.34g salt per 100g for its reduced-salt beans, while Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury's each list 0.29g per 100g for theirs.
Compare the per-100g figures first, then look at the serving size and pack you plan to order.
When an ordered item is unavailable, Tesco and Sainsbury's may offer a substitute. A different recipe may not meet the salt level you selected.
Use the substitution controls available for your order, and check any replacement label before deciding whether to accept it.
These labels describe different product claims. A reduced-sugar tin should not be treated as a no-added-sugar tin, and neither claim tells you everything in the ingredient list.
Check the exact product's sugar claim and ingredients, particularly if sweeteners affect your choice.
Marks & Spencer describes its No Added Sugar Baked Beans as vegan and vegetarian, but its product page separately says they are not suitable for people with milk or egg allergy.
For an allergy requirement, read the current can label for the exact product and ask the retailer or manufacturer if anything is unclear.
