Data sources

Last updated: 2026-05-18

Mise's nutrition information is derived from two public databases published by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ):

  • Australian Food Composition Database, Release 3 (December 2025) — ~1,588 commonly consumed Australian foods, full nutrient profiles, current methodology.
  • AUSNUT 2023 — ~3,741 foods including derived dishes (recipes, prepared meals, supplements). Used to fill coverage gaps Release 3 doesn't cover.

Licence

Both datasets are made available by FSANZ under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Australia licence, with the additional terms specified in the FSANZ Data User Licence Agreement.

© Food Standards Australia New Zealand 2025. Data has been transformed (joined, deduplicated, converted to per-100g where applicable). The transformed data is also distributed under the same CC BY-SA 3.0 AU licence.

Limitation of Data Statement

FSANZ's published data is intended primarily for use within Australia and New Zealand and may not be appropriate for other countries. Australian and New Zealand food supplies, agricultural practices, food fortification regulations, and food-product formulations differ from those elsewhere — values for similarly-named foods can vary substantially.

Nutrition values in Mise are derived from a snapshot of the source data and are not updated in real time. They are an estimate, not a clinical reference. We do not validate the data against individual product labels.

Per-recipe estimates

Mise automatically matches each recipe ingredient to a food row in the database using a text-similarity algorithm. The match isn't always correct — for example, a recipe calling for "olive oil" might match a different oil variant, or an ingredient like "1 large onion" may be skipped if a precise weight isn't given. Each recipe page shows how many of its ingredients contributed to the totals (e.g. "Calculated from 5 of 7 ingredients") so you can judge confidence.

Starter recipes

New accounts can populate their library with a one-click pack of curated starter recipes. The pack is sourced from TheMealDB, a free public recipe database. TheMealDB content is free for any use including commercial, with attribution. We carry that attribution on every starter recipe via a themealdb tag and link back here on this page.

Ingredient lines are passed through a light US→AU spelling pass (cilantro→coriander, scallions→spring onion, ground beef→minced beef, etc) so they read naturally for the AU audience.
