BARFLAB ne nagađa. Svaka norma, svako sigurnosno ograničenje i svaka rečenica u bazi znanja ima izvor — prehrambene smjernice (NRC, AAFCO, FEDIAF), javne baze sastava hrane i recenzirana znanstvena istraživanja. U nastavku je potpuni popis; uz svaku stavku ukratko navodimo za što je koristimo.
Baze nutritivnog sastava
Nutritivne vrijednosti proizvoda u katalogu potječu iz javnih baza sastava hrane — svaki proizvod navodi bazu iz koje potječu njegovi podaci.
