The Chomp database undergoes continuous auditing and updates to maintain high accuracy and reflect manufacturer changes to nutrition labels.
Update Schedule
- Branded Products: The internal system attempts to verify and update existing branded food items approximately twice a month. Before overwriting an item's existing data, the system performs a strict validation check to prevent regressions.
- Daily Throughput: Typically, between 50 and 100 existing food items are updated each day based on these routine audits.
- Generic Ingredients: Ingredient data sourced from third-party databases (e.g., raw vegetables, plain grains) is updated annually.
