A York-based company is now supplying its ostrich steaks at Tesco stores across the UK.

The Heroes Journey, a leading provider of healthy food products, says Ostrich has become an increasingly popular choice for health-conscious consumers due to its exceptional nutritional profile.

As a red meat alternative, ostrich is remarkably low in fat and high in protein, making it an ideal option for those seeking to maintain a balanced, nutrient-dense diet. This game meat is also an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

Founder, Charlie Simpson-Daniel said: "Ostrich is a protein we see as a hybrid between beef, chicken and lamb and due to the incredibly low-fat levels, it's such a great choice for those monitoring cholesterol levels or saturated fat.”

To commit to quality and ethical sourcing, The Heroes Journey is partnered with Africa’s largest producer of sustainable ostrich. All the birds meet the strictest standards of ethical production and practices which ensure the ostrich population remains healthy and protected indefinitely.

Additionally, each purchase donates 2p to Lion Landscapes, a conservation charity dedicated to protecting wild lion populations in Kenyan and Tanzanian National Parks.

Charlie added: “We are delighted to bring our Ostrich Steaks to the shelves of Tesco. They are the United Kingdom's largest major retailer, it is the ultimate validation to be involved in this incredible opportunity for Ostrich to be offered to mainstream consumers looking to make healthier choices.”

The Heroes Journey produces an extensive range of food products, promising to be healthy and to the highest ethical standards. Products include various meats, chocolate, teas, health drinks and pet treats.
