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.
