BARFLAB ne ugiba. Vsak standard, vsaka varnostna omejitev in vsak stavek v bazi znanja ima vir — prehranske smernice (NRC, AAFCO, FEDIAF), javne baze sestave živil in recenzirane znanstvene raziskave. Spodaj je celoten seznam; pod vsako postavko na kratko navedemo, za kaj jo uporabljamo.
Baze sestave živil
Hranilne vrednosti izdelkov v katalogu izhajajo iz javnih baz sestave živil — vsak izdelek navaja bazo, iz katere izvirajo njegovi podatki.
