FoodInfo API
Food & Nutrition
FoodInfo is Nigeria's first verified packaged-food database API, giving developers structured access to thousands of Nigerian food products, nutritional facts, ingredient lists, and real-time NAFDAC registration records. It was built specifically for the Nigerian market, covering packaged goods found in Nigerian supermarkets, local markets, and online stores a gap that global nutrition APIs like Edamam and Nutritionix leave largely unfilled.

FoodInfo API is verified for developer integrations in Nigeria and across African markets, providing documented endpoints, sandbox testing, and developer support.
