Claude Nutrition & FoodData Skills for CPG

Claude nutrition skills and Claude FoodData skills for CPG: a full package (skills, knowledge, data, tools) that looks up USDA FoodData Central live via install and US Nutrient Composition Lookup.

Claude nutrition skills and Claude FoodData skills on fmcg.network are a Business Capability package for CPG teams: assistants look up USDA FoodData Central live (find food, composition, label panel). They are not an email-gated prompt zip.

Package shape (skills + knowledge + data + tools)

  • Skills: how to ask for Foundation vs Branded, resolve a UPC, and choose label panel vs analytical composition.
  • Knowledge: FoodData Central dataset kinds; Branded Foods are manufacturer submissions, not USDA lab measurements.
  • Data: USDA FoodData Central register (live).
  • Tools: find_food, get_composition, get_label_panel on US Nutrient Composition Lookup.

A short skill.md guide can sit inside the package. The product is still the full installable capability.

Worked example (USDA FoodData)

Same flow as the measured USDA guide (do not invent register IDs):

  1. Skills prompt: almond flour, Foundation foods.
  2. find_food with query: "almond flour" and dataType: "Foundation".
  3. get_composition for per 100 g nutrients.
  4. Optional get_label_panel when you need a Branded serving panel.

Golden Rule hedges: missing nutrient is not zero; per 100 g is not per serving; no FDA rounding or compliance verdict from this package.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Claude nutrition skills on fmcg.network?
A Business Capability package for CPG product and regulatory work: skills for how to ask, knowledge of FoodData Central dataset kinds, live USDA data, and tools find_food, get_composition, and get_label_panel. Not an email-gated prompt pack.
What are Claude FoodData skills?
The same package, named for USDA FoodData Central. Assistants resolve foods and UPCs, then read composition (per 100 g) or branded label panels. Install at https://fmcg.network/install or open US Nutrient Composition Lookup.
Are there Claude nutrition facts skills for CPG?
Yes in the package sense: label-panel reads for branded submissions plus composition for foundation foods. This is not FDA rounding, Daily Values, or a compliance verdict.
How is this different from the USDA FoodData Central nutrient database guide?
That guide explains how to search the USDA nutrient database. This page explains how to use the same data from Claude through the US Nutrient Composition Lookup check. Both lead to the same live check.
Are branded Nutrition Facts values USDA lab measurements?
No. Branded Foods entries are manufacturer submissions. USDA does not verify them. Missing nutrient does not mean zero. Per 100 g (get_composition) is not the same as per serving (get_label_panel).
Does this output a compliant Nutrition Facts panel?
No. Rounding, Daily Values, and RACC serving sizes are a separate regulatory step. The package reports register numbers only.
