  • Energy is stored as published kilojoules; calories derived at 4.184 kJ/Cal.
  • Products are excluded when energy is missing, or outside 0 to 4,000 kJ per 100 g. That range catches entries where calories were typed into the kilojoule field.
  • Products are deduplicated by barcode, keeping the most complete record.
  • Recipe nutrition is summed from ingredient weights and divided across cooked weight.
