Supported Diets and Compatibility Verification

Supported Diets and Compatibility Verification

The Chomp database actively supports compatibility verification for Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free diets.

Compatibility Logic

Every ingredient associated with a queried food item is algorithmically checked against internal dietary guidelines. 

If an ingredient is flagged as incompatible with a specific diet, the API response object will explicitly note the incompatibility and include a structural description of the failing ingredient.

For detailed information regarding the specific ingredients and additives checked by the compatibility engine, please review the Ingredient Guide.
