Health Checker
You can save calories, fat, saturates, sugar and salt with mySupermarket in your chosen supermarket. You decide whether to accept products that are similar to the ones you chose, but a healthier choice.
To use Health Checker
- In the Health Checker panel, click on the red button to view the swaps which we suggest to save money on your shopping. The total potential health savings are listed at the top of the page.
The items which you originally chose are listed on the left highlighted in yellow.
- Click Swap to select an item. A tick will appear with a message You Saved: X calories, Xg fat etc.
- If you change your mind, click on Cancel Swap to undo and return to your original item.
- Click the Return to Trolley Checker button to return to Trolley Checker.
How do we calculate your health savings when you swap items?
We multiply the difference in calories per 100g by the total weight of the item. E.g. If the difference
between two 500g pizzas was 50cal/100g, your total saving will be 250 calories. If the two products differ
in weight, we calculate the total savings based on the weight of the replacement item. The same applies
for fat, saturates, sugar and salt.
When you swap a product, it is possible that while you will save on some of the nutrients, you will add
others. In such a case, the addition is clearly marked in grey with a + symbol.
When you return to the Trolley Checker page the total price of your supermarket trolley will be adjusted to account for your savings.
