The move marks the first time that an empire biscuit has been made available as part of the supermarket’s meal deal.

The company is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and has been making empire biscuits for generations.

It now produces thousands every week from its base in Springburn in North Glasgow.

Barry O’Donnell, Tesco buying manager, said: “Empire biscuits and caramel shortcake are iconic Scottish treats, so we’re delighted to be working with McGhee’s to bring them into selected Tesco meal deals across Scotland.

“We know there is strong demand for familiar, nostalgic favourites that can be enjoyed as part of lunch on the go, whether that’s during the working day, at college or while travelling.

“Adding individually wrapped versions of these classic bakes into the Tesco lunchtime meal deal gives customers more choice with a Scottish twist.”

Individual McGhee’s empire biscuits and caramel shortcake will be available for £1.
