BARFLAB gætter ikke. Hver standard, hver sikkerhedsgrænse og hver sætning i vidensbasen har en kilde — ernæringsmæssige retningslinjer (NRC, AAFCO, FEDIAF), offentlige databaser over fødevaresammensætning og fagfællebedømt forskning. Nedenfor finder du den fuldstændige liste; under hver post beskriver vi kort, hvad vi bruger den til.

Databaser over fødevaresammensætning

Næringsværdierne for produkterne i kataloget stammer fra offentlige databaser over fødevaresammensætning — hvert produkt angiver den database, dets data stammer fra.

USDA FoodData Central (USA). fdc.nal.usda.gov
CIQUAL — ANSES (Frankrig). ciqual.anses.fr
DTU Frida (Danmark). frida.fooddata.dk
Matvaretabellen (Norge). matvaretabellen.no
AFCD — Australsk fødevaresammensætningsdatabase. foodstandards.gov.au
