Where does the ingredient data come from?

Nutrition comes from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy). Prices come from the World Bank Pink Sheet, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, USDA ERS and FAOSTAT producer prices, plus the European Commission for olive oil and Statistics Canada for tofu. Emissions, land and water figures come from Poore and Nemecek (2018) via Our World in Data, and from ADEME AGRIBALYSE for ingredients that study does not cover. Producing countries come from FAOSTAT. Allergen status follows FDA rules and EU Regulation 1169/2011. Product types are counted from USDA branded food records in the Journey Foods product database. Each value on a page names its source and period.

What happens when the main source does not cover an ingredient?

We use the next named public source for that value and cite it on the page. We never estimate or model a value.

How do I get the full ingredient database?

This page is a free sample. The full ingredient database, supplier matches and formulation tools are in the Journey Foods app and API.
