Sandwich sales were lower, continuing last year's second half trend, though the signs are for a reversal of this later in the year, it said.
"Significant increases in sales were seen in sausages and bacon and growth was also seen in continental and charcuterie products, fresh pork and cooked meats," the company said in a statement.
