See the saturated fat before it sees you
Saturated fat hides in products you would never expect. Bite Insight scans the label and surfaces exactly what matters for your cholesterol.
High cholesterol is common
and widely misunderstood
Most people with high cholesterol feel completely fine. That is what makes it so easy to underestimate. And without the right tools, eating to lower it takes real nutritional knowledge.
High cholesterol affects nearly half the adult population in the UK. Because it has no symptoms, many people only find out when they are tested for something else entirely.
People with high LDL cholesterol are significantly more likely to experience a heart attack or stroke. Reducing dietary saturated fat is one of the most effective ways to bring levels down without medication.
Saturated fat is in far more products than most people realise. Sauces, ready meals, biscuits, cereals, and dairy products all contribute. The cumulative effect across a day is hard to track without help.

Common questions
About using Bite Insight with high cholesterol.
Yes. Set high cholesterol in your health profile and every scan then flags saturated fat, trans fat, and other nutrients linked to raised LDL cholesterol. These are surfaced clearly on each product rather than requiring you to find and interpret the nutritional table yourself.
The cholesterol impact indicator rates each product as Cholesterol Friendly, Moderate Fat Content, High in Saturated Fat, or Very High Saturated Fat based on its nutritional profile. It gives you a simple signal at the point of purchase so you can make an informed decision without having to calculate how each product fits into your daily fat targets.
Yes. Trans fats are particularly harmful for LDL cholesterol but they do not always appear clearly on UK food labels. They are sometimes listed as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil buried in the ingredients rather than being called out in the nutritional table. Bite Insight checks for these automatically as part of the high cholesterol profile.
Bite Insight shows you the full nutritional breakdown of every product you scan, including exact saturated fat content, making it much easier to compare similar products and choose the lower-fat option. With Bite Insight+, you can also flag specific fats so they are highlighted automatically on every scan.
No. Bite Insight provides educational food insights to help you make more informed choices. It is not a substitute for advice from your GP, cardiologist, or dietitian. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare team and use Bite Insight as a practical tool to support that at the point of purchase.
