How does the low salt and zero sugar content in these chicken thigh fillets affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The absence of sugar means the fillets do not raise blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic meal plans, while the low salt (0.32 g per 100 g) helps keep sodium intake within recommended limits for people managing hypertension.

Are Tesco Chicken Thigh Fillets appropriate for low‑carb or keto eating plans?

Yes, with zero carbohydrates and only 161 kcal per 100 g, the fillets provide protein and fat without contributing carbs, fitting well into low‑carb or ketogenic diets.

What is the best way to store raw chicken thigh fillets after purchase to keep them safe?

Store the fillets in their original sealed tray on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator at 0‑4 °C and use within 1‑2 days, or freeze them in an airtight bag for up to 3 months to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
