Searching for Ingredients

You can search for ingredients in a specific database or across all databases. For example, searching for "beans" will yield results from the Australian (FSANZ) database.

Note:

• US Database: The most comprehensive, covering a wide range of foods.
• NZ and AU Databases: Include region-specific foods not common in the US.

Our search function matches exact and partial keywords, so you don't need to type the exact beginning of the item name. This flexibility makes finding ingredients easier.

Food / Ingredient Details

Once you find an item, click on it to view its nutrition data. You can adjust the serving size, and the nutrition data will be recalculated automatically.
