Data

Data

Hvor dataene kommer fra, hvordan formlerne regner, og hvor estimatet bliver mindre praecist.

In short

Use the numbers on this site as a guide. Neither the food database nor the calculator promises perfect precision.

  • Food pages are based on Open Food Facts data and cleaned up before publication.
  • The calculator gives a starting estimate, not a personal medical target.
  • If numbers disagree, the package and your real weight trend matter more.

Hvordan udgivelse og beregning er sat op

Hvor dataene kommer fra

Grundlaget kommer fra RU-udsnittet af Open Food Facts. Foer udgivelse bliver dataene normaliseret, saa produktsiderne er lettere at laese og sammenligne.

Vi laegger ikke bare et raadump online. Foerst goer vi felterne brugbare, og bagefter bygger vi sider og beregnere oven paa dem.

Hvilke regler vi udgiver efter

Vi udgiver kun sider, der giver mening for mennesker at laese, ikke kun sider der ser gode ud for en soegemaskine.

Soegeresultater og midlertidige tilstande i beregnerne behandler vi ikke som hovedindhold paa siden.
