The dish databases behind every menu.

Every dish that reaches a Tasty kitchen carries a source label back to one of these composition databases — three national reference tables (Ciqual, BLS, FNDDS), the US ingredient reference, plus the in-house authored library. What follows is the verbatim license notice each publisher requires or asks us to display.
