Know what is really in your food before it is too late
Hidden allergens and small-print warnings are easy to miss. Bite Insight surfaces every risk the moment you scan, personalised to your specific allergy.
Food shopping with a nut allergy
carries real stakes
Nuts and nut derivatives hide in products you would never expect. And with cross-contamination risks spread across thousands of products, the stakes of missing something are high.
Nut allergies are among the most common food allergies in the UK, affecting adults and children alike. Peanut and tree nut allergies together account for the majority of severe allergic reactions.
UK law requires the 14 major allergens to be declared on food labels. But nuts are not always listed clearly, and cross-contamination risks are often buried in small print or missing entirely.
Allergen-related product recalls happen regularly. Undeclared nuts are among the most common reasons. Even careful shoppers can be caught out when labelling is incorrect or incomplete.

Common questions
About using Bite Insight with a nut allergy.
Yes. You set your specific nut allergy in your health profile during onboarding, or update it at any time in settings. Every scan then checks the full ingredient list for your allergen, including hidden sources and cross-contamination risks, and flags anything that could be a problem clearly and immediately.
Yes. Nuts and nut derivatives appear in products under many names. Bite Insight checks for a wide range of nut-derived ingredients including nut oils, marzipan, praline, nut pastes, and products where nuts are listed as a flavouring or extract. These are all flagged automatically so you do not need to be an expert in ingredient naming to stay safe.
Where a product includes may contain nuts or made in a facility that handles nuts on its label, Bite Insight surfaces this as a cross-contamination warning. This information is shown clearly upfront rather than buried at the bottom of the ingredients list where it is easy to overlook.
Yes. Bite Insight lets you set your specific nut allergy in your profile. Whether you are allergic to peanuts, tree nuts broadly, or specific tree nuts like cashews, almonds, or walnuts, the app personalises its warnings to your allergy. You are not shown a one-size-fits-all result.
Bite Insight is a food information tool, not a medical device. It checks product ingredient data and surfaces allergen information to help you make informed decisions. It should be used alongside careful label reading, not as a replacement for it. If you have a severe allergy or a history of anaphylaxis, always read labels carefully and follow the guidance of your allergist or immunologist.
