How do I search for groceries?

Mealeez has one of the most powerful shopping experience for food-allergy sufferers in the UK & US, with our huge groceries area that allows you to find safe products and compare prices across multiple stores. And the best part is we've made it as simple as possible for you to use.

Getting Started

The first thing to note is that the initial view you see when heading to the Groceries area showcases up to 10 grocery aisles, which allows you to browse for inspiration.

Searching For Groceries

To conduct a search, type in your query in the search bar at the top of the screen. Mealeez checks your query against product names and brand names held in our database. It'll then check each item for ingredients in your food allergy profile, returning results that are marked "safe" or "caution". PLUS subscribers also have the ability to fine-tune the results using the Filter option at the top right.

Viewing Grocery Items

Tapping a grocery item will bring up its details, where you can see further information such as ingredients (if there are any allergies, they will be marked in red (severe) or amber (caution) depending on your allergy profile) and the ability to bookmark the item. You'll also see a list of stores the item is available in and the current price information we have for it. You can then tap the "VISIT" button to be taken directly to that grocery items product page.

How is this different to other price comparison websites?

All other price-comparison websites are focussing on finding you the best price. Mealeez also does that but more importantly, we automatically filter every result against your allergy profile so you'll only see items that are considered allergy-friendly.

Why no real product images?

Product images are not currently displayed due to copyright restrictions. We do not hold licenses to show them on the Mealeez website or the Android app. Instead, we have used AI to generate images to help you when navigating the grocers area.

Why do some searches take a long time?

Your food allergies and a products ingredients may change at any time, so Mealeez always conducts a "fresh" search when checking grocery items. That means it checks every single ingredient before determining if an item is suitable or not, before showing results. For quicker searches, try being more specific in what you are looking for. For example, searching for "vegan" will return all suitable vegan results, but searching for "vegan sausages" will be quicker as there are already less results to check your allergies against.

How do I save grocery items to view later?

Simply tap the "bookmark" icon and select a list to add this to. If you have family profiles, you'll also see the option to add to lists under that profile. You can even select multiple lists if you want to.
