Database for whether an ingredient fits a diet or contains

Hi there,

Wanted to ask if open food facts has a database of ingredients that fit certain diets or are free from certain other ingredients (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan etc. For example, if an ingredient such as wheat is determined to contain gluten or not. If not, does anybody know of such database?

Hi @Truggs

Yes we have a taxonomy of ingredients which provides this kind of information.

See in github (or the json version).

To understand more about taxonomies, read Global taxonomies - Open Food Facts wiki.
