Where does your information come from?

For branded foods, the nutritional information comes from the USDA’s food information database.

Our daily values come from the values set by the Food Nutrition Board, which are the same daily values used in most nutritional labels. The 2,000 calorie diet that most brands use as a reference point is just one population group, the Food Nutrition Board also has standard daily values for all age groups.

There are other food scanner apps out there. What makes ChewChew different?
