Check if food products are compatible with your diet.

Chomp is a project that I've been working on for the last 3 1/2 months. The idea is to create a search portal where people with diet needs can look up products and see if they're compatible with their lifestyle. Users can create lists of their favorite products, write and read reviews, and customize the ingredients they want to avoid.

This is the 2nd launch from Chomp. View more

1. What made you want to do this? 2. How is this different than the other X nutrition databases out there? 3. Are you able to share at all the approach you took to gather the data?

@dale_cudmore @Kuro1 This really started as a passion project. My wife and I went vegan a few years ago and found it difficult to determine if a food was vegan or not, especially while grocery shopping. She gave me the idea to make a platform that checks ingredients and tells you if the food is compatible with your diet (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free) or contains any ingredients you want to avoid. I think one of the main differences is that this database contains foods from all around the world. A lot of the other databases are specific to the country. I think another big benefit is that people using the API can access the diet labels and get a list of individual ingredients that aren’t compatible with certain diets.

@petemerrill It took me a while to realize that this page linked to your API page, and not the homepage where the message is much clearer. As a fellow vegan, I wish you luck.

@dale_cudmore Oh! That makes sense. I don’t see any way that I can change how the link appears. I agree that it is confusing. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking my product out. I started working on Chomp back in 2018 and have been chipping away at it ever since. I'm extremely proud to be launching a competely redesigned website and API. AMA.

This one definitely caught my eye. Great product you've got here! I can't imagine how much work it took to gather all of that data (and keep it updated). Are there any plans to include data on where to source the food/brands/ingredients?

@gill_works Thanks for the compliment! It has taken quite a while to gather all of the data and make it useful. I learn something new almost every day! Are you asking how you can access the data? If so, you can sign up for a subscription on the home page. Just click the “Start Free Trial” button for the plan that works for you.
