# USDA Branded Food Dataset

The USDA Branded Food Dataset is a cleaned and structured dataset created from USDA FoodData Central (FDC) data. This dataset consolidates extensive information on branded food items available in the U.S., providing a valuable resource for nutrition analysis, machine learning, and consumer research.

## Overview

The USDA Branded Food Dataset compiles data on over 456,000 branded food items, including:
- **Nutrient Profiles**: Detailed nutrient content for each item.
- **Ingredient Lists**: Comprehensive ingredient information.
- **Serving Sizes**: Standardized serving size information for analysis and comparison.

By transforming and standardizing multiple data files from USDA FoodData Central, this dataset offers an accessible, machine-learning-ready resource for various food and nutrition applications.

For more information on how this data pipeline was developed, please refer to the detailed blog post [here](https://jacktol.net/posts/building_a_data_pipeline_for_usda_fooddata_central/).

## Try the USDA Food Assistant

You can interact with the USDA Branded Food Dataset using the USDA Food Assistant, an application that allows for conversational exploration of food data. Try it on Hugging Face Spaces [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jacktol/usda-food-assistant).
