Where does CalorieKing source its Food Database information?
To maintain one of the most comprehensive, high-quality, up-to-date food databases in America, CalorieKing sources its data from scientific databases, such as the USDA, as well as food manufacturers and food industry boards and councils. CalorieKing also performs its own independent calculations and extrapolations to ensure the information in the database reflects real-world situations. For example, some food producers may provide nutritional information on a set serving size, but when tested the actual serving size consumers receive is far in excess of the amount stated by the food’s producer. By consulting CalorieKing’s Food Database, consumers can find out the nutritional information for the portion size actually consumed.
