Wikidata:Property proposal/FDC ID

‎FDC ID

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic

Done: FoodData Central ID (P12917) (Talk and documentation)

Description	U.S. Department of Agriculture FoodData Central ID
Represents	food (Q2095)
Data type	External identifier
Example 1	chicken egg (Q15260613)→747997
Example 2	apple (Q89)→168204
Example 3	whole wheat bread (Q14650718)→335240
Example 4	Coca-Cola (Q2813)→2678649
Source	https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/
Number of IDs in source	467293 (according to the tab bar)
Formatter URL	https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/$1/nutrients
See also	USDA NDB number (P1978)

Motivation

contains nutritional data about generic foods (13807) and branded food products (453486). USDA NDB number (P1978) seems to be an entirely different id but the website provides a mapping to the FDC ID:

buttermilk (Q106612) → USDA NDB number (P1978) → 1088 → FDC ID → 2259792

Support Very useful data. By the way, in the open source app Waistline (largest foss calorie tracker app) these can be used for generic foods (see here) – so far they aren't using Wikidata in any way. --Prototyperspective (talk) 15:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Prototyperspective: it is also used by OpenNutriTracker (Q127445131) which I actually discovered in your edits. I thought it would be nice if it could use images from wikimedia commons when selecting an FDC item. Thats why I proposed this property 😅 –Shisma (talk) 07:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
