Data

Var datan kommer ifran, hur formlerna raknar och var uppskattningen blir mindre precis.

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.

Sa fungerar sidan

Hur publicering och berakning ar upplagda

Var datan kommer ifran

Grunden bygger pa RU-utdraget ur Open Food Facts. Innan publicering normaliseras datan sa att produktsidorna blir lattare att lasa och jamfora.

Vi lagger alltsa inte bara upp en radump. Forst gor vi falten anvandbara, sedan bygger vi produktsidor och rakneverktyg ovanpa dem.

Vilka regler vi foljer nar vi publicerar

Vi publicerar bara sidor som ar begripliga och anvandbara for manniskor, inte bara sidor som ser bra ut for en sokmotor.

Sokresultat och tillfalliga lagen i rakneverktygen behandlas inte som huvudinnehall pa sajten.
