From Waitrose to Marks and Spencer, supermarket Christmas sandwiches which are bad for your elf
IT’S time to have your fill in the countdown to Christmas.
Shops have launched their festive range of sarnies and lunchtime bites to help perk the nation up – and they are the quirkiest yet.
But watch out, as some contain almost 600 calories.
Here, we check them out to see which ones are bad for your elf.
Waitrose
Christmas pigs under blankets sandwich, £3:
Containing sausage and bacon, the 2.55g salt content is one of the highest of those sampled.
It also contains 509 calories.
M&S
Fa La La! Truffled egg and honey roast ham sandwich, £4:
Decadently packing two half truffled eggs and ham, with 513 calories and the most salt at 2.88g, this is definitely not just any sandwich.
Tesco
Turkey and trimmings sandwich, £2.75:
Turkey . . . check. Stuffing, sausage and cranberry . . . check.
And at 519 calories and 2.2g salt, it won’t leave you looking as though you have been stuffed.
Sainsbury’s
On The Go turkey with pigs under blankets, £2.40:
Pig out on Cumberland sausages, turkey, smoked bacon and chutney as this has the lowest calorie hit we sampled at 505, and 2g salt.
Starbucks
Very merry vegan wrap, £2.99:
Containing butternut squash, red cabbage and vegan mayo, the 543 calories and 1.9g salt means it is meat-free but not guilt-free.
Costa
Festive pigs under blankets panini, £5 (meal deal with coffee):
At 531 calories and 2.3g of salt, too many of these could leave you doing Joe Wicks’ workouts well into the New Year.
Greggs
Hot and tasty (not suitable for snowmen) pigs under blankets baguette, £3.35:
This one is served ho ho hot. But with 577 calories and 2.7g salt, you would give Santa’s girth a run for its money if you over-indulge.

Cafe Nero
Brie, bacon and cranberry panini, £4.55:
Weighing in at a mouth-watering 536 calories and with 2.1g of salt, this one is definitely a turkey when it comes to dieting – as it is packed with melted cheese.
