Use cases
- Enrich grocery SKUs with Nutri-Score and macros
- Power barcode scanners in consumer apps
- Research category nutrition distributions from open data
Scope notes
- Coverage is strongest for packaged foods; restaurant dishes and fresh produce are sparse.
- Score fields (
nutriscoreGrade,novaGroup,ecoscoreGrade) are missing for many products — treat null as “unknown”, not “healthy”. - Upstream availability can vary by region; failed searches return an error row instead of crashing the run.
Tips
- Start with one query and
maxItems: 5to inspect field quality for your category. - Prefer barcode mode when you already have GTINs — results are more precise.
- Keep batches moderate; the Actor already inserts short delays between requests.
