Food & Beverages in the United States

In the United States the FDA sets labelling rules for most packaged food: ingredients in descending order by weight, a Nutrition Facts panel, and the nine major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy and sesame) declared by name. Most products here come from USDA FoodData Central’s branded-foods data, which records the ingredients and nutrition manufacturers report; it doesn’t include product photos.

US rules don’t always match other markets. Titanium dioxide, banned as a food additive in the EU since 2022, is still permitted by the FDA, while the FDA revoked brominated vegetable oil in 2024 and approval of Red No. 3 in food in 2025 (effective 2027). That is why the same product can read differently from one country to the next.

Every product page lists the ingredients in label order, nutrition per 100 g (and per serving where the label gives one), and, once a product has been analysed, how each ingredient is treated by regulators in India, the EU, the US and Canada.
