Dietary Filters & Tags
Our filters and tags are designed to help you identify products and recipes that may be suitable for your dietary or lifestyle needs. These are only intended to act as a guide, as Woolworths cannot always ensure the accuracy of product information, and product ingredients may change from time to time.
While our filters and tags are here to help save you time in identifying potentially relevant products and recipes, they should never be used as an alternative to medical advice or reviewing the product label in full. Always check the product label or contact the manufacturer before consuming, particularly if you have food allergies or intolerances.
Notes for recipes
Products flagged in your cart with the information icon or that are optional ingredients were not used to develop the allergen, dietary and nutrition information shown on the recipe page. Allergen and dietary information for these products may not match the information shown on the recipe page.
The dietary and nutrition information shown on a recipe page is based on the original number of servings shown on that recipe page and not based on any other servings selected by you.

A vegan diet is typically based on products that contain grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, pulses and peas. Vegan products generally don’t contain any animal-based ingredients, like meat, fish, shellfish, dairy, eggs, honey or by-products from the fishing industry.
