Nutricost Calcium Carbonate Powder - Nutritional data from manufacturer product label
Note: This ingredient uses manufacturer label data, not USDA FoodData Central. Nutritional values are taken directly from the product label and converted to per-100g format for NRC calculations.
We store the exact serving size and nutrient values from the manufacturer label. This creates an audit trail and allows you to verify our data against the physical product.
NRC standards require nutrients per 100g for calculations. We automatically convert the label data to this format using simple mathematics (no estimation).
Veterinarians and nutritionists can see both formats, verify the conversion, and trust the data integrity. No black boxes.
• Trust: Clear distinction between USDA data and manufacturer data
• Verification: You can verify manufacturer data against the physical product label
• Transparency: See both original label data and calculated per-100g values
• Professional: Proper source attribution for veterinary consultation
• Accuracy: Mathematical conversion only (no estimation or guessing)
