The purpose
The official data exists, but it lives inside a search form that is hard to explore. datafood turns it into clear pages: every food, every nutrient, every comparison. Always with the source, the version and the origin of each value.
The rules this site holds itself to
- The official data is the only reference: no value is invented, estimated or borrowed from another database.
- No health claims: the site publishes composition, never a presumed benefit.
- Visible attribution on every page, with the source version shown.
- Calculators run entirely in your browser: no personal data is transmitted.
Independence
datafood is an independent editorial project. The publisher is affiliated with neither the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) nor the federal administration; the database is used under its licence, which permits commercial use and requires attribution. No content is commissioned by a manufacturer or a retailer.
