We review food and brand names to ensure they meet content standards
Cross-reference UPC/EAN barcodes with GS1 standards and manufacturer product catalogs
Validation system checks if nutrition data is physically possible using physics-based rules and energy conservation
OpenFoodFacts entries are validated using physics-based rules to ensure nutrition data is physically possible (matter density, calorie-to-macro alignment, volume-based limits).
When source databases provide limited serving sizes (e.g., only "1 cup" and "100g"), we calculate additional common serving sizes using proportional mathematics from the verified base measurements.
