    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 335 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 335 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 8

calculate_nutrition_label

Calculate a US FDA Nutrition Facts label from a formula: FDA rounding (21 CFR 101.9), % Daily Values, RACC-based serving size, servings per container, single vs dual-column format, plus ingredient, allergen and net-quantity statements and nutrient-content claim checks. Ingredient quantities are batch amounts; nutrients are per 100 g of each ingredient. Missing nutrients are treated as 0 and reported back, so the label is only as good as its inputs: it must be verified before printing.

Discovered
check_retailer_ingredients

Screen food ingredients against the public private-label ingredient rules of 7 US retailers: Trader Joe's (TJ), Whole Foods Market (WFM), Kroger Simple Truth (ST), Walmart (WMT), Sam's Club (SAM), Aldi (ALDI) and Sprouts (SPR). Covers about 54 ingredients and classes (synthetic colors, high-intensity sweeteners, preservatives, emulsifiers, fats, flavors). Statuses: BANNED, BANNED_BY_PRINCIPLE, ALLOWED_NAMED, CONDITIONAL, NOT_LISTED (not the same as approved), UNVERIFIED, CONFIRM_WITH_BUYER. Public lists are not full specifications: always confirm with the buyer.

Discovered
find_ingredient_suppliers

Find who supplies a food, beverage, dietary-supplement or pet-food ingredient: manufacturers, distributors and traders from the SKS Ingredient Index (about 265 ingredients, 790 suppliers worldwide, compiled from public sources). Use it whenever the user asks who makes, sells, sources or distributes an ingredient, wants supplier or vendor options, or is choosing where to buy a raw material (e.g. 'allulose suppliers', 'Halal collagen manufacturers', 'US-based ashwagandha suppliers', 'who sells MCT oil powder'). Filter by country and by claimed credential (Halal, Kosher, Organic, Non-GMO, GFSI food safety, GMP). Returns supplier name, country, type, website, listed products and claimed credentials, plus the ingredient's FDA GRAS notice count, US private-label retailer status and a link to the full page. Credentials are suppliers' own claims; suppliers are alphabetical, not ranked.

Discovered
get_ingredient_profile

Sourcing and regulatory profile of one food, beverage or supplement ingredient for formulation and purchasing decisions: how many suppliers and from which countries, what share claim Halal, Kosher, Organic, Non-GMO or GFSI certification, forms and specifications seen in supplier listings (e.g. assay %), markets and health areas suppliers name, FDA GRAS notices with FDA's responses, and status at 7 US private-label retailers (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Kroger Simple Truth, Walmart, Sam's Club, Aldi, Sprouts) where tracked. Use it to compare ingredient options or check supply depth and regulatory position before choosing an ingredient.

Discovered
list_racc_categories

List FDA Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACC, 21 CFR 101.12) product categories used for Nutrition Facts serving sizes. Returns each category's id, group, name, reference amount and household measure hint. Optional filter words, e.g. 'cookie', 'carbonated beverage' or 'sauce'.

Discovered
search_gras_notices

Search the FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) Notice inventory by substance, intended use or notifier. Returns GRN number, substance, intended use, basis, notifier, filing/closure dates and FDA's response letter (e.g. 'FDA has no questions'). Useful for checking whether a food ingredient has a GRAS notice before formulating for the US market. A missing notice does not mean an ingredient is not GRAS (self-affirmed GRAS exists), and a notice covers only its stated uses.

Discovered
search_label_ingredients

Search the SKS nutrition ingredient library (about 3,600 records: USDA SR Legacy plus sourced calculations) for an ingredient's nutrients per 100 g, label declaration name and allergens. English or Chinese names. Each result says where its data comes from and which nutrients are missing.

Discovered
sweetener_sugar_replacement

Calculate how much of a sweetener matches the sweetness of a given amount of sugar (sucrose), the calories saved, and the bulk (grams of solids) lost that must be replaced with fiber, polyol or another bulking agent. Also returns the sweetener's relative sweetness, kcal/g, glycemic index, heat/acid stability and regulatory notes from the SKS Sweetener Atlas.
