How frequently is data updated?

Our data is updated on a regular basis and is continually audited to ensure accuracy. We make an effort to check for updates for each food item twice a month. We always double check before overwriting an item's existing data with updated data.

Typically, between 50 and 100 food items are updated each day. To see the latest updates visit our Recently Updated page.

Some data is sourced from the USDA database. This data is updated annually.
