Popular food delivery platform Zomato has announced the launch of a brand new ‘healthy mode’ for its customers to order nutritious food via its app. The mode is currently available in Gurugram with plans to expand to other markets as well.
In a post on X, Eternal founder Deepinder Goyal said, "It's (Healthy Mode feature) live in Gurgaon, and we'll expand fast. Try it, tear it apart, tell us where it fails. Because this is just the beginning - and for the first time, I feel we're moving meaningfully closer to truly living up to our mission: better food for more people."
How Is It Different From Available Options In The Market?
Earlier, users could only order ‘healthy’ options like smoothies or salads from selected outlets located near their residences. But they did not know how healthy these foods truly were.
Zomato’s new update gives users a ‘healthy score’, helping users to judge whether the food is truly nutritional or not. The company has not clarified how this data would come, whether from restaurants or from independent compilers. The only thing that the company said was that Artificial Intelligence would be used to maintain objectivity and uniformity in the numbers.
“Every dish in this mode now comes with a healthy score, from low to super, based on what really counts for your health: protein, complex carbs, fibre, and micronutrients, and not just calories. Behind the scenes, it’s AI and restaurant data doing the heavy lifting, but what you’ll see is simple: a clear explanation of what makes a dish healthy, and why,” he stated, quoted Fortune India.
“This is not your run-of-the-mill ‘healthy mode’ for beginners. We have kept the bar very high so that professional athletes can rely on a healthy mode to find food that works for them,” he added.
According to the company owner, the mode has been introduced keeping the athletes and professionals in mind.
