The Problem
Existing food data solutions force you to choose between expensive enterprise APIs, unreliable free alternatives, or the endless task of building your own database. Most providers offer limited coverage, outdated information, and inconsistent data quality that can break your product experience.
Cost
Building and maintaining a food database in-house requires massive investment. Licensing fees from data providers can quickly drain your budget, making it nearly impossible for startups and mid-size companies to compete.
Branded Data
Finding accurate branded product information is a nightmare. Most databases only cover generic foods, leaving you with incomplete data that frustrates users searching for their favorite products.
Reliability
Free and low-cost food APIs often suffer from downtime and slow response times. When your app depends on external data, unreliable infrastructure means unhappy users and lost revenue.
Inconsistency
Nutritional data varies wildly between sources. Different measurement units, conflicting values, and outdated information create a messy user experience that undermines trust in your application.

Clean, Consistent Structure
Every food item follows the same predictable schema—no missing fields, no format surprises, no hours spent writing data transformation scripts. Whether it's a branded snack from Japan or a generic ingredient from Brazil, you get identical JSON structure with normalized values ready for immediate use. Nutritional data is standardized to consistent units, serving sizes are clearly defined with multiple portion options, and localized names are properly encoded in UTF-8. No more guessing which field contains calories or wondering why macros don't add up. We've already done the painful work of cleaning, validating, and normalizing over 1.1 million food items so you don't have to. Every entry passes through our quality pipeline—flagging inconsistencies, filling gaps, and ensuring mathematical accuracy across all nutritional values. Just parse the JSON and start building. Your developers will ship faster, your QA team will file fewer bugs, and your users will get accurate data from day one.
