Nutritional Information and Dietary Preferences

Introduction

Understanding nutritional information can be a complicated task, especially when it comes to making the best choices for your diet and lifestyle. At Mealia, we have simplified this process by incorporating a colour-coded rating system and dietary preference filters, enabling you to make informed decisions effortlessly. Below is a guide explaining how our system works.
