M&S launches three new essential food boxes filled with vegetables and fruit starting from £15

High street retailer Marks & Spencer has released three new food boxes following the introduction of its first one last month.

In March, M&S followed in Morrisons ’ footsteps when it released its £35 food box which contained essentials such as pasta, tinned goods and a selection of meats.

While the original box did receive some backlash from fans who felt there were too many sugary snacks included, the new boxes look like they’ll contain much healthier products.

The three new options are the Mixed Vegetable Box (£15), the Mixed Select Vegetable Box (£17) and the Seasonal Fruit Box (£20).

Just like the £35 food box, M&S is telling customers what they can expect when they order each box.
