Food data sources and terms

Last updated: August 13, 2026

Stryde’s food database is assembled from four separate sources. Three are open data, used under their own licences. The fourth is ours.

They are stored separately rather than merged, and every food you log records which source it came from. Your data export lists them too.

Where the data comes from

Open Food Facts: Branded products and barcodes. Used under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0. This is the only source carrying an obligation beyond attribution — see below.
Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID): UK generic foods, published by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities. Used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This is the only lawful route to micronutrient values, because retained Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 makes vitamins and minerals voluntary on a label.
USDA FoodData Central: Foundation Foods, SR Legacy and FNDDS. Public domain under CC0 1.0.
Stryde curated sports nutrition: Endurance and sports nutrition products, compiled by Stryde. This layer is ours, and the terms below apply to it. The values in it are currently a compiled set rather than one transcribed from physical packaging, so they are ranked below the measured sources above and cannot outrank them in search.

Terms for Stryde’s curated sports nutrition data

The curated sports nutrition layer was compiled by Stryde Training through the selection, arrangement and compilation of product nutrition data. That compilation represents a substantial investment in obtaining, verifying and presenting its contents, and Stryde Training asserts database right in it under the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997.

All rights in that compilation are reserved.

You may use this data inside the Stryde app, for your own training and nutrition, for as long as you use the app.
You may export your own logged data, including the entries that reference it, at any time.
You may not extract, copy, scrape or otherwise reproduce a substantial part of the compilation, whether in one go or by repeated extraction of insubstantial parts.
You may not redistribute it, republish it, or incorporate it into another product or database.
You may not use automated means to harvest it from the app or from any Stryde service.

The open data obligations we carry

The Open Database License covers only the Open Food Facts layer. It distinguishes between a produced work — a rendered screen, for instance — which requires attribution, and a derivative database, which additionally requires that the derived database itself be offered under the same licence.

Stryde keeps the licensed layer physically separate from the others rather than merging them, and each layer records its own provenance per row. Where a derived database is publicly conveyed, it is offered under the ODbL, and the address it will be published at is stated in the app alongside the notice.

That extract has not been published yet. Until it is, you can request a copy of the derived database by email and we will provide one.

Corrections

If a nutrition value here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. For the open sources, corrections are best made upstream so that everyone benefits — but send them to us either way and we will pass them on.
