Why does Food Facts exist?
The nutrition landscape is complex and ever-evolving. New studies are published every day that shed more light on how food choices impact our bodies and society. It can be hard to keep up with the facts.

FoodFacts exists to help clarify the landscape so you can be sure the information you access has been rigorously reviewed to ensure it's accuracy.
