Consumer Food Composition Software Utility Notice

Nutritional and biochemical composition data for this food are compiled from open public reference databases (USDA FoodData Central, ANSES CIQUAL, and Open Food Facts) strictly for culinary modeling and educational food-science awareness. Unitrition is a consumer software utility and does not provide medical advice or individual dietary plans.

Methodological note on PRAL acid-base balance: In accordance with Unitrition mineral null-safety principles, missing mineral values (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, or magnesium) are never imputed as 0.0 mg (zero-value fallacy prohibition). Where analytic mineral data are unmeasured or incomplete, calculations reflect uncertainty to prevent spurious alkalizing projections.
