Livsmedelsverket

Nutritional values for generic foodstuffs, straight from the Swedish Food Agency, with meal-level arithmetic on top — which is what makes allergen planning for a school menu a question rather than a spreadsheet.

What it is

Livsmedelsverket publishes Sweden’s national food database: over 2,500 foods, each with around fifty nutritional values. This integration reads it directly and can add up a whole meal from its parts.

Use it for

• “Which dishes on this school menu contain milk or nuts?”
• “What are the nutritional values for this food per 100 grams?”
• “Add up the energy, protein and salt for this meal.”
• “Which nutrients does the database actually carry, so I know what I can ask for?”
• “Compare the iron content of these three foods.”

Data and permissions

• Open data, no key. Nothing about your organisation passes through.
• Read-only.

Getting started

Add the MCP server to an assistant and ask.

Limitations

• Generic foods, not branded products. The database describes “wheat bread, coarse”, not a specific loaf. For a named product on a shelf, Dabas is the right source.
• Not an allergy assessment. Values are representative for a food type. A person’s safety depends on the actual product’s declaration and on preparation, neither of which this database sees.
• Swedish data. Composition varies by country and producer.
• Meal calculation is arithmetic. Cooking loss, absorption and substitution are not modelled.
