  description: 'Nutrition data for millions of foods, merged from five national food-composition datasets: USDA FoodData Central (US), McCance & Widdowson''s CoFID (UK), ANSES Ciqual (France), the Danish Food Composition Database, and FSANZ AUSNUT (Australia/NZ), plus Open Food Facts for branded products.


    Authenticate with an API key in the `X-Api-Key` header. A free account gets a key with 10 requests/minute and 100/day; the Practitioner plan raises that to 60/minute and 10,000/day. Quotas are counted per account, not per key. Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit-Minute`, `X-RateLimit-Limit-Day` and `X-RateLimit-Tier`.


    Server-to-server only: CORS is not enabled, so keys stay off the browser.'
