Beautifully designed. My favorite part: the exercise equivalents. E.g. you'll need to jump rope for 21 minutes to burn off one serving of this chocolate bar:
"Welcome to the Sage Project, a new platform where design and technology come together to create the food labels we’ve always wanted — smart, simple, and personalized."
Thank you all for the kind words and for checking it out! Making this data more approachable (and a bit fun/playful) has been a big mission for us (for a few years, dating back to my co-founders and I working on similar projects at NYU ITP). We never really loved existing food data products - so wanted to build out our take on it.
My personal favorite feature (outside of our product visualizations) is probably the filtered search. Filtering down to all products that match exactly what you’re looking for. For example:
All vegetarian products that are high in protein and have probiotics:

Or paleo products, that are gluten-free, and a good source of healthy fats:
https://sageproject.com/products...
(this is cool, but also critical for people with food allergies, celiacs, and other very specific restrictions… We think of the metaphor of taking a store with 14 aisles and helping filter down to a 1/4 aisle that is actually right for you)
Anyways - we’ve got some pretty cool next products AROUND this data that we’ll be launching soon, so stay tuned :)
Have any questions - hit us up!
Really well done! Just curious what you guys use for the nutrition data... did you go with your own DB or are you using a third-party service/api? Or do you have plans of offering an API to the public? @sloversam
I really wish the product page had some sort of indicator that the food is generally healthy, unhealthy, etc. I just want to know if I should eat it or not. 5% sodium is completely meaningless to me.
Bravo @sloversam! I've worked for premier food brands for nearly 10 years, & Sage Project makes nutrition fun & understandable. The industry & consumers desperately needs this bridge!
The visual design language is really nice. I wish that the detailed nutritional information wasn't conveyed in concentric circles. It makes 26% of protein look way different from 26% of fat.
