sugars_100g field

The per-100g-or-ml sugar field Open Food Facts normalizes onto product records, comparable across drink SKUs and markets.

For beverage work it sits beside ingredient lists, the NOVA processing group and Nutri-Score letter grades.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - Open Food Facts - Open Database & API (what it publishes) — "Crowdsourced open database of ~4.7 million packaged food products worldwide with barcodes, brands, ingredients, Nutri-Score, NOVA, additives and packaging, available as nightly bulk exports and a live JSON API". - Industry brief (distillers-vintners) - landscape narrative — "roughly 4.7 million barcoded products carrying ingredients, sugars_100g, NOVA group and Nutri-Score". - Industry brief (distillers-vintners) - FAQ — "its ~4.7 million product records carry sugars_100g per 100 g or ml, full ingredient lists, NOVA processing group and Nutri-Score letter grades".

Industry brief (distillers-vintners) - landscape narrative is the second reference point worth knowing: "roughly 4.7 million barcoded products carrying ingredients, sugars_100g, NOVA group and Nutri-Score". Reading the two together shows how much variation sits underneath one shared label.

A table is only as good as the column you actually need. If this field is absent, sparsely populated or defined inconsistently across rows, no amount of surrounding richness rescues the analysis, so it deserves its own line in your evaluation checklist.

The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.

You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and Open Food Facts - Open Database & API lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
