Written by: Team Angel OneUpdated on: 30 Sept 2025, 10:07 pm IST

Zomato and Swiggy have introduced health scores on their platforms as scrutiny over food quality and nutrition in India’s fast-growing delivery market increases.

As per the news reports, Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal said on Monday that the company has introduced a health score on its menu items. The score is based on restaurant data and artificial intelligence. In a post on X, Goyal wrote that while Zomato had made ordering food convenient, it had not helped users make healthier choices. His comments received wide attention online.

Swiggy’s Earlier Move

Swiggy launched its own health score system last week. Deepak Maloo, Vice President for Food Strategy, customer experience and new initiatives, explained in a LinkedIn post that the ratings will highlight categories such as high protein, low calorie, no fry, and gluten-free.

Industry Response

Restaurant operators said they are preparing for changes in consumer expectations. As per the reports, Zorawar Kalra, who runs chains including Farzi Café and Masala Library, said healthier dining is now part of mainstream demand. He noted that menus are shifting toward dishes with lighter ingredients and more plant-based options.

Share Price Performance

As of September 30, 2025, 11:39 am, Eternal share price was trading at ₹325.40, a 0.17% increase, while Swiggy share price stood at ₹419.30, a 0.67% increase from the previous closing price.

Conclusion

Zomato and Swiggy have both added health scores to their platforms as the debate over food quality and nutrition grows. The responses have been mixed, but this reflects changes underway in the country’s food delivery industry.
