Source methodology per value
Every single nutrient tells you where it came from: sourced from a product label or official database, derived by formula, estimated from ingredients, or self-entered. You decide the minimum tier displayed.

Three detail tiers – you choose
Core for the overview. Detailed for conscious decisions. Scientific for the full depth – up to 138 values per food. Power users, dietary counseling, sports medicine.
The smallest product database
on the market.
Right. We don't have the most products – but we take time for every single one. Every value is scanned, AI-suggested, hand-reviewed by the Zutato team and cross-checked against your product photo. Better few products done right than many done halfway.

Photo analysis
OCR reads your photos, models map the values to nutrient codes. Usable privately right away – your tracking runs without waiting on us.
Photo OCR · instant tracking
03
Human reviewed
The Zutato team checks every value and cross-references each number with your packaging photos. On anomalies we research manufacturers, BLS & literature. The product only becomes visible to the community after approval.
Photo match · Research · Approval
Usable right away – or fully private
Submitted products land directly in your tracking, even before we've reviewed them. If you don't want to submit, you can add a product purely privately – but then without micronutrient calculation.
Community only after review
A product is only shared once the Zutato team has reviewed it. That keeps the public database small – and clean.
Updates after the review
When we've added micronutrients or corrected a value after the review, you get a notification – you see exactly what's changed on the product.
Recipe changed? Spotted an error?
Manufacturers tweak recipes, labels get redesigned – or a typo slips in. Tell us any time: a tap inside the product, a short note, optional photo. We check it in the review.
Other databases
Lots of products, unclear vetting
- ×Millions of entries – user-generated, often unfiltered
- ×Who entered the value? No one knows
- ×Corrections are slow, or never happen
- ×Quantity as a marketing promise
Zutato
Fewer products, every value verified
- ✓Three-step pipeline: Submission → AI → Human
- ✓Every value with source & reviewer stamp
- ✓Plausibility research on anomalies
- ✓Quality as a product – not a bullet point
as far as we know.
If you know a smaller one – let us know, we'll apply for the title. Until then we'd rather keep few products well-curated than many done halfway. And with your help maybe soon we won't be the smallest anymore.
