Why it matters
The link that keeps facts traceable
When the planner says 200 g of chickpeas, Bitehint keeps the ingredient tied to source-backed package, allergen, and certification context. That link helps explain nutrition facts inside the planning workflow.
Ingredient-to-catalog links
Recipe lines map to catalog references with clear matching reasons.
Package-level context
Package amounts, ingredient lists, and source text stay available for review.
Certifications as data
Organic and other labels are structured and filterable, not decorative.
Barcode checks
GTIN lookup connects scanned labels back to the same catalog fact model.
FAQ
Common questions
Which sources are covered?
The current catalog focuses on Dutch food data sources, including large food catalogs and smaller food producers. More source coverage is on the roadmap.
How fresh are catalog facts?
Catalog facts are imported and audited regularly, and source-backed app pages show where a fact came from.
Can I see where the data comes from?
Yes. Recipes and catalog entries keep links to their source records, so you can inspect the original data behind any fact.
What does Bitehint do with these mappings?
It uses them to explain recipe and nutrition context inside the app.
