aid: swiss-food-composition-database name: Swiss Food Composition Database description: >- The Swiss Food Composition Database is the official reference dataset on the nutrient composition of foods available in Switzerland, published by the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO / BLV). Version 7.1 (1 July 2026) covers 1,246 mostly generic foods across 19 main categories and 106 subcategories, with macronutrients, water, alcohol and energy for nearly every food, plus vitamins, minerals, fatty acid groups and individual fatty acids for most. The data is published free of charge in German, French, Italian and English, for commercial as well as scientific use, subject to acknowledgement of the source. Alongside the Excel export and the public search application, the FSVO operates a documented, entirely unauthenticated JSON REST API on the FoodCASE platform, described by a served OpenAPI 3.0.1 document with 21 read-only operations covering food search, single-food retrieval, nutrient values and their sources, ingredients, LanguaL codes, the category tree, component/unit reference data and the current database version. url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/swiss-food-composition-database/refs/heads/main/apis.yml image: https://naehrwertdaten.ch/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/favicon.png x-type: company x-source: harvest:health-device-stack x-tier: enriched x-tier-reason: enrichment-pipeline specificationVersion: '0.20' created: '2026-08-27' modified: '2026-08-27' tags: - Food - Nutrition - Food Composition - Health - Open Data - Government - Switzerland - Reference Data - Public Sector - Research tags_raw: - food - nutrition - food-composition - health - open-data - government - switzerland - reference-data - public-sector - research apis: - name: Swiss Food Composition Database API description: >- Public, unauthenticated JSON REST API over the Swiss Food Composition Database, served from the FoodCASE platform operated for the FSVO. 21 read-only GET operations: food search with category, subcategory and nutrient-threshold filters, single food retrieval, nutrient values and their source/provenance records, recipe ingredients, LanguaL descriptors, the full category tree, component / component-set / group / unit reference data, generic-food counts and the current database version.
