New food items are added to the Chomp database on a daily basis.

Addition Strategy

The primary driver for new item inclusion is user demand. The system actively tracks barcode and name searches across the API that result in a 404 Not Found response. 

We use this aggregated failure log to identify which missing food items are currently in high demand, prioritizing them for entry and verification.

• Daily Throughput: Typically, between 50 and 100 entirely new food items are added to the database each day.
