Common questions
About using Bite Insight with health conditions.
Yes. Add every condition that applies to you and Bite Insight checks each scan against all of them at once, along with any allergies or diets in your profile.
You can still use Bite Insight with your own list of ingredients to avoid. With Bite Insight+ you can flag any ingredient by name and it will be picked out on every scan. You can also tell us which condition you’d like added.
No. Bite Insight gives you information about what’s in your food. It isn’t medical advice. Always follow the guidance of your GP, consultant or dietitian.
