At Sainsbury’s, we believe that finding the right food should be simple, inclusive and tailored to you. Our filter function is designed to help you quickly find food and drink that suit your dietary needs, lifestyle choices and cooking preferences, whether you’re shopping for yourself, your family, or someone with specific dietary requirements.
These filters are here to personalise your shop to make shopping easier, while helping you make more informed choices.
Many of the health and dietary product filters and tags on this page are powered by Spoon Guru, with the exception of Healthy Choice and No Added Sugar which are managed by Sainsburys. Spoon Guru technology combines expert nutritional review with advanced data processing to match products to your preferences based on ingredients, nutrition, product information and manufacturer statements.
Please remember: these filters are intended to guide your choices, but they are not a substitute for medical advice or your own checks. Product recipes and ingredients can change, and manufacturer data may not always be complete. Always read product labels carefully before purchasing and before consumption, especially if you have allergies or specific dietary requirements.
From health-focused filters like high protein, low fat and high fibre, to lifestyle tags such as vegan and kosher, and allergy-aware filters that help you avoid ingredients like milk, gluten or nuts, our filter function is here to help you shop with clarity and ease.
