About GetFoodFacts

Two kinds of record, from the same public database. For packaged foods, the values each manufacturer submitted to USDA from its own label, with the barcode, the ingredient statement and the date of the record; GetFoodFacts places each product beside every other product of its kind. For whole foods, USDA's own values from laboratory analysis and dietary surveys, with the household portions USDA publishes.

On top of the records we compute what no single record shows: how a product ranks within its category, which foods give the most of a nutrient in a portion people eat, how many products meet each FDA claim threshold. Every page names the file behind its figures and the date of that file.

GetFoodFacts is data for general reference only and should not be considered medical or dietary advice. It does not test foods; a product's values are the manufacturer's submission, and the package in your hand is the authority on what is in it today. For allergies, read the package's own ingredient and allergen statement. For a diet that treats a condition, ask a clinician or a registered dietitian.

GetFoodFacts is owned by Kiznis Studio, which builds public-data sites with AI tools. Here the AI tools write the code, the page templates and the explanatory text of the guides and studies; the figures in them come from database queries over USDA's and the Bureau of Labor Statistics' files, and each study states its method and its limits.

Messages to the address below reach a person at Kiznis Studio, who answers for what the site publishes and reads every correction request. No dietitian or physician reviews the site; it publishes composition data and the FDA's own definitions, and says so where it matters.

Advertising pays for the site: Mediavine places the ads. Advertisers and manufacturers have no say in what is published, and no one can pay to change a product's page or its place in a ranking.

The figures come from USDA FoodData Central's release of April 30, 2026. Most packaged-product records in it were last modified by their manufacturers between 2017 and 2023, so a product page can show a recipe that has since changed; each page gives the date of its record. The site is rebuilt when USDA publishes a new FoodData Central release, about twice a year, and the food prices each month when the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes them. When USDA removes a record, its page is removed with it.
