Zomato<\/a> founder Deepinder Goyal<\/a> took to X to address what he said was a long-standing concern about the platform\u2019s impact on healthy eating<\/a>. He announced the launch of a feature called Healthy Mode on Zomato<\/a>, to help users make smarter food choices.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, Goyal posted, \u201cFor years, there\u2019s been something about Zomato that made me uneasy. We made eating out and ordering in easier than ever, but we never really helped people truly eat better.\u201d<\/p>\n

While users could find options such as salads or smoothie bowls, Goyal admitted, “Zomato didn\u2019t make it easy\u201d to find genuinely nourishing meals.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we\u2019ve taken one of the biggest steps in fixing that blind spot. We\u2019re launching Healthy Mode on Zomato,\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n

In this new mode, each dish gets a \u2018Healthy Score\u2019, ranging from \u2018Low\u2019 to \u2018Super\u2019. The score focuses on key nutritional inputs<\/a> such as protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre, and micronutrients, rather than just counting calories. The ratings are generated using artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) and data provided by restaurants.<\/p>\n

Currently live in Gurgaon, the feature will be rolled out more widely soon. \u201cTry it, tear it apart, tell us where it fails. Because this is just the beginning\u2014and for the first time, I feel we\u2019re moving meaningfully closer to truly living up to our mission: better food for more people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is personal for me. I\u2019ve carried the guilt that Zomato made it easy to eat whatever you craved, but not easy to eat what your body needed. Healthy Mode is our first real step in putting that right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that this is not a beginner\u2019s healthy mode but one even professional athletes can rely on to find suitable food options.<\/p>\n

In a March interview with ET<\/a>, Goyal addressed concerns about food delivery platforms making unhealthy food more accessible. He explained that frequent daily customers mostly live in big cities, where there are many healthy options, including homemade-style meals, and these customers tend to choose those healthier restaurants.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, less-frequent users, who order about three to four times a month, make up 70% of Zomato\u2019s volume and are spread across the country. These users often treat themselves to indulgent meals such as butter chicken with butter naan, but only once in a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia hasn\u2019t reached the point where people order food every day on average, so we aren\u2019t causing health problems nationwide,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, customers must make their own choices. Our role is to ensure those choices are available when they want them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal took to X to address what he said was a long-standing concern about the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[277],"tags":[289,60039,18,135,1767,60044,19,17,508,60042,60043,60037,60038,60041,60040],"class_list":{"0":"post-92507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-deepinder-goyal","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-healthy-eating","13":"tag-healthy-food-options-zomato","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-nutrition","17":"tag-nutritional-inputs","18":"tag-order-healthy-food","19":"tag-zomato","20":"tag-zomato-healthy-mode","21":"tag-zomato-healthy-mode-details","22":"tag-zomato-launches-healthy-mode"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
