About dietary and lifestyle filters
We know that a lot of Kiwis are vegetarian, vegan, have gluten intolerances or just want products with reduced sugar and salt. So now it’s easier for you to filter your product searches using a range of dietary and lifestyle filters.
These filters are only intended as a guide as we cannot always ensure the accuracy of product information and ingredients may change from time to time. You should always check the product packaging or enquire with the manufacturer before consuming to ensure a product is right for your individual needs. The filter should never be used as an alternative to medical advice or reviewing a packaging in full.
