USDA Global Branded Food Products Database

GDSN® Initiative

The USDA Global Branded Food Products Database is the result of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), whose goal is to enhance public health and the sharing of open data by enhancing the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) with the nutrient composition of branded food and private label data provided by the food industry. As part of the USDA National Nutrient Database for SR, the USDA Global Branded Food Products Database will ensure that this data is publicly available to those who will utilize it. This includes, but is not limited to, federal agencies, the research community, international databases, proprietary databases, end users, and the food industry.

The USDA Agricultural Research Service partners with the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences, GS1 US,1WorldSync and the University of Maryland to develop the database and user-friendly interface to make it easier for private food companies to add and update data. The database provides a transparent source of food data that can assist health professionals and researchers. Common consumer health and nutrition Apps may also use the data as a resource to bring information to consumers on a phone or watch in real time while shopping or dining out. The Global Branded Food Products Database greatly expands and enhances, the USDA National Nutrient Database, which contained basic information on about 8,800 branded foods and has served as a main source of food composition data for government, researchers, and the food industry.
