How can I track my Taste the Difference challenge progress?
Track your progress directly via the Taste the Difference pod on your Nectar app homepage.

You can view these rewards and your transaction history clearly within the Nectar app's Activity section at any time.
Why are some items excluded from the Healthy Choices challenge?
Products may be excluded if they do not currently meet the specific criteria required for the "healthy logo". Additionally, Sainsbury’s is still in the process of reviewing and rolling out the healthy classification across all own-brand products. If an item hasn't been assessed yet, it won't count toward your progress at this time.
Why are some items excluded from the Taste the Difference challenge?
Most notably, all alcohol products, including beers, wines, and spirits, are strictly ineligible for task progress. Only the specific Taste the Difference items displayed within your Nectar app dashboard count toward your milestones, as qualifying products and targets vary per customer.

Both the Taste the Difference and Healthy Choices challenges conclude on 19 May 2026. To receive your bonus points, all qualifying in-store purchases must be made, and all online orders must be delivered, by the end of this date. Points are awarded automatically upon task completion.
