  SEARCHED the FSVO API description document (https://naehrwertdaten.ch/en/downloads/) and the Swagger UI
  reference at https://api.webapp.prod.blv.foodcase-services.com/BLV_WebApp_WS - neither documents a rate
  limit, quota or throttling policy. PROBED live unauthenticated responses on 2026-08-27 and inspected the
  full response header set.

limit_count: 0
note: >-
  No rate limit is published and none is signalled at runtime. The provider's own API description says
  "API is free to use and allows unrestricted access" and "All of the available endpoints and methods are
  nonrestricted, free to access". Live responses carry no X-RateLimit-*, no RateLimit-* and no Retry-After
  header, and no 429 was observed. An honest zero: an agent integrating here has no runtime budget signal at
  all, and must self-throttle on courtesy rather than on anything the API tells it.

  getFoodsTurbo (GET /webresources/BLV-api/foods) accepts limit and offset, and getFoods / getCategorizedFoods
  accept limit; unbounded requests return the whole result set. Result-set size is the only volume control
  available to a client.
