GetFoodFacts

Background

GetFoodFacts publishes USDA FoodData Central's records of foods and packaged products and the Bureau of Labor Statistics' food prices, sets each packaged product beside the rest of its aisle, and adds six analyses and ten label guides built from the same files. It takes no payment from the brands or products it covers.

Who writes the pages

No person signs these pages and none is invented: GetFoodFacts is the publisher and the byline. The site is built with AI tools, which write the code, the page templates and the text of the guides and analyses; every figure is a database query over the USDA and BLS files, and the sentences on product and food pages are assembled from each record's own values.

No dietitian or physician reviews the pages, and nothing here is medical or dietary advice. For a diet a doctor has prescribed, follow the doctor and the label on the package.

What the pages are checked against

At each release every product in a ranking's top 100, and every product page offered to Google, is read again from the FoodData Central API, and the corrections USDA has made since the release file are applied; 50 foods drawn at random are compared as well, and a mismatch stops the release.

Each analysis states its method, its limits and its source files, and offers its table as CSV. Each ranking states which records it leaves out and why. The methodology page describes every check.

Feedback

To report a wrong figure, write with the page's address; the corrections page lists every fix with its date. Contact page · hello@getfoodfacts.com
