Heart Disease

Make every food choice count for your heart

Eating well for your heart
takes real effort

Saturated fat, sodium, and hidden sugars are in more products than most people realise. Keeping track of them across every meal requires the kind of label literacy that takes years to develop.

Real experience

“After my diagnosis, my cardiologist told me to watch my saturated fat and sodium. But actually doing that in a supermarket is a different story. Bite Insight makes it genuinely easy to see what is in something without turning every shop into a homework session.”

Common questions

About using Bite Insight with heart disease.

Yes. You set heart disease as part of your health profile and every scan then flags the nutritional markers most relevant to cardiovascular health. This includes saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, and added sugars, which are shown clearly on every product rather than requiring you to find and interpret the nutritional table yourself.

The heart health indicator rates each product as Heart Friendly, Be Mindful, High Risk Nutrients, or Very High Risk based on its saturated fat, trans fat, sodium, and added sugar levels. It gives you a simple signal at the point of purchase without needing to calculate how each number fits into your daily targets.

Yes. Saturated fat and trans fat are both highlighted as part of the heart disease profile. Trans fats in particular can be difficult to spot as they sometimes appear as partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list rather than being called out clearly in the nutritional table. Bite Insight flags both automatically.

With Bite Insight+, you can build a personal avoid list with any ingredients your cardiologist or dietitian has told you to limit. These are flagged automatically every time they appear in a product you scan, so you never have to rely on remembering what to look for in the moment.

No. Bite Insight provides educational food insights to help you make more informed choices at the point of purchase. It is not a substitute for medical or dietetic advice. Always follow the dietary guidance of your healthcare team and use Bite Insight as a practical tool to support that at the point of purchase.
