Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive, public and up-to-date database containing nutritional information for food products (both general and brand-specific)?

Is this question not off-topic? – user3085 Mar 19 '12 at 21:31
Asking a question as to the location of comprehensive nutritional information on a site based on the topic of nutrition and viewed by thousands of people who are knowledgable on the topic and know of such resources. I'm not sure how I could be any more on topic!!!! – KodeKreachor Mar 19 '12 at 21:48
Generally, questions about nutritional information that are not related to fitness are considered off-topic as described in the faq (fitness.stackexchange.com/faq). They're often closed soon after being asked: (fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/5818/…, fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/5798/…, fitness.stackexchange.com/questions/5792/…). – user3085 Mar 19 '12 at 22:35

@Sancho is correct that your question is unrelated to fitness or exercise. On top of that your question is basically asking for a list of answers, which should never be your goal. So the more important question is: what do you need the database for? And if that goal has a relation to exercise, how can we help you reach that goal instead? – Ivo Flipse♦ Mar 20 '12 at 23:42
Fine, I guess I misunderstood the point of this site. So are questions related strictly to fitness banned too if the question doesn't involve anything related to nutrition? – KodeKreachor Mar 21 '12 at 1:39

Below are 3 links - I'm not sure what your intent is, if it's to track your daily intake you might be better off using a foodtracker, such as at LiveStrong.com.
