The UK Database Advantage
Cronometer's database is primarily built around North American products. While it includes some international foods, UK supermarket products often need to be manually added or may have incomplete data.
NutraSafe is built specifically for UK users, with products from major UK supermarkets already in the database and accurate British nutritional information.
