Edamam Powers Nutrition Data Solutions for Food, Health and Wellness Businesses

Edamam launched today its Meal Planner API for companies, whose clients have specific wellness or health goals related to diet.

NEW YORK, NY, US, May 29, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Edamam, an industry leader in food and nutrition data solutions for business in the health, wellness, and food sectors, released today a new Meal Planner API. The API provides powerful functionality for businesses to build very personalized meal plans for customer, patients, or employees, considering food preferences and restrictions, allergies, nutrient needs, or specific health goals.

The Meal Planner API leverages Edamam’s proprietary technology and a database of over 5 million recipes that have been nutritionally analyzed and tagged by the company for every nutrient, allergen, diet, and chronic condition, as well as meal type, dish type, cuisine, and additional parameters such as glycemic index and CO2 impact. Edamam’s already existing Recipe Search API leverages the same database to provide individual meal recommendations. The Meal Planner API create an additional layer of convenience to provide recommendations optimized over several days or weeks.

“The Meal Planner was born out of customer demand as most people plan and shop for their meals on a weekly rather than on a meal-by-meal basis,” commented Victor Penev, the Edamam’s Founder and CEO.

The key features of the Meal Planner are:

• Personalization – based on nutrient needs, diets, allergies, or food preferences.
• Meal customization – easy to define number of days and meals per day.
• Substitution – quick replacement of one meal (recipe) for another as needed.

“Our mission is to simplify food choices and help people eat better and the Meal Planner is a needed tool in the toolset to achieve this mission,” added Victor Penev.

Edamam’s Meal Planner API is now in private beta and the company offers promotional rates to early subscribers that join the waitlist. Edamam plans to expand the meal plan beyond recipes to include grocery food items and eventually restaurant meals as well as link it to a grocery shopping and food delivery experiences via partnerships with companies in the space.
