CBS Interactive To Use Edamam For Nutrition Data On Chowhound
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 27, 2017 -- Edamam, a provider of nutrition data services for businesses in the food, health and wellness sectors, was selected by CBS to power nutrition for its digital cooking property Chowhound. The company’s unique technology will be used to provide detailed nutrition for each recipe on Chowhound, as well as label recipes for their appropriateness for all major diets and allergens.
To deliver the service, Edamam is leveraging its Nutrition Analysis API and providing CBS with a custom implementation. The Nutrition Analysis API produces real-time, highly accurate nutrition data of any recipe or ingredient list, utilizing Edamam’s unique, food domain specific, natural language processing technology. The analyzed data contains information about the content of all macro and micro nutrients. It also labels recipes according to their appropriateness for all popular diets, such as vegan, paleo, gluten-free and low-sugar.
“Edamam is excited to provide the service to Chowhound -- one of the best recipes sites in the English language web. Our goal is one day to be powering nutrition for every recipe or meal people cook or eat,” commented Victor Penev, the Founder and CEO of Edamam.
Other clients using Edamam’s Nutrition Analysis service include Epicurious, The New York Times, General Mills, as well as a number of catering and food delivery companies and individual restaurants. The company also has a solution in Spanish and is working companies on five different continents.
