Database Licensing

NCC maintains and updates a premier food and nutrient database that is relied on heavily by the scientific community and app developers. It may be licensed for a variety of purposes, including use for nutrition-related apps and websites.

    • Each food in the database is given a short food description that aligns with the way people describe foods they eat.
    • Food amount units are provided so that people can report the amount of food eaten in a way that makes sense to them.
    • None of the data is crowd-sourced or obtained via data scraping.
  •
