Thanks dirk_poulescom.. hopefully the near future :)

Hey braja14 - indeed. Our API already works with recipes. In fact, you don't even have to enter it in a standard format, or provide us with the ingredients. We tap into a recipe database with 3 million recipes and use machine learning algorithms to automatically find the ingredients of the recipe you want to know the impact of. As you mentioned, we do have a catering company that uses our API. In fact, we're in discussions with a major food delivery app to integrate our API and pilot this in London. They will use it to rate restaurants or recipes as climate-friendly, allowing you to choose better dishes. If you check out the recipe search, do let us know what you think about it. Thanks for your feedback!!

Thanks! Great question - we aggregate carbon footprints from peer-reviewed, published "life cycle assessment" papers on food products. This is a continuous process. Any time a new paper is published on a food product, we find it and update our database with that value. So the actual work of calculating the supply carbon footprint is done by researchers - we are simply data aggregators. We have managed to collect data on fresh as well as processed food types. We have single ingredients as well as products with multiple ingredients. We take into account geographies as well. How? - It took a team of climate and data scientists two years to aggregate life cycle carbon data from every aggregated database as well as journal out there. Do check it out. You can read more on the methodology on our website's FAQs as well. Cheers and thanks for the feedback!

Hey nikincn - thanks!! We have product "types" available in our database. You can simply query any product name you want - we cover almost all the products you can find at the supermarket. The free, trial API is limited to 1 product type - you can search for any milk product name (such as Oatly Oat Drink Barista Edition) and see the CO2 value, as well as how much better or worse its impact is compared to the average milk.
