Terms of Use

The service

What Else is Inside? provides informational analysis of food products, ingredients, nutrition and processing characteristics, documented pharmaceutical-formulation overlap, source records, company connections, and related information.

What Else is Inside? is operated by Danesc, LLC.

No medical, dietary, or professional advice

The service is informational only. It is not medical advice, dietary advice, diagnosis, treatment, allergen counseling, or other professional healthcare advice.

If you have medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, medication questions, or other health concerns, consult qualified professionals and always verify the physical product package. Do not rely solely on What Else is Inside?

Scores and analysis

Food Quality is an informational nutrition and processing assessment based on available data. It is not personalized medical advice and does not tell you what is healthy for you.

Pharma Footprint measures the share of scored ingredients that also appear in documented pharmaceutical formulations. It does not mean the product contains medication; does not measure pharmaceutical material by weight; does not mean the food is unsafe; does not mean an ingredient is harmful; and does not mean a pharmaceutical company manufactured, supplied, or profits from the food.

Company connections shown through the service generally reflect documented formulation relationships. They do not necessarily establish food ownership, ingredient supply, financial relationships, profit, or causation.

Medical-use or therapy-area labels describe the medication or formulation context, not a claim that the food ingredient treats that condition.

Allergens and package labels

Where allergen or ingredient information appears, it is provided for informational context only. Always verify the physical package label before consuming a product. Do not rely exclusively on What Else is Inside? for allergen safety.

Data limitations

Information may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Labels and formulations change. Source records may contain errors. Community submissions may require review. Scores, classifications, and methodologies may change as data and methods improve. Coverage varies by product.

Scores may change when new evidence is added, labels change, methodology changes, or sources are corrected.

User submissions

You may submit ingredient-label photos, nutrition-label photos, product information, corrections, recipe or formulation change reports, and related content.

Submissions may be processed by automated systems (including AI), reviewed by administrators, corrected, rejected, combined with other data, or retained for verification and audit purposes as described in the Privacy Policy.

No submission becomes trusted public catalog data solely because it was submitted. Approved public product data may differ from your original submission. We may reject or modify submissions and do not promise that every submission will be published.

Submission license

By submitting content, you grant What Else is Inside? and Danesc, LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process, store, analyze, reproduce, adapt (for normalization and quality), and use that content to operate, secure, and improve the service, including catalog quality and verification.

You represent that you have the rights needed to provide the content and that it does not unlawfully infringe others’ rights. We do not claim broader ownership of your submissions than needed to operate the service.

Prohibited submissions and conduct

You may not submit or use the service to provide:

• Content you do not have the right to provide
• Malicious, illegal, or harmful files or content
• Personal or private information unrelated to the product
• Spam, abuse, or intentionally false product data
• Automated scraping, crawling, harvesting, bulk downloading, or systematic extraction of product data, ingredient data, scores, analyses, or other content beyond ordinary interactive use of the website or app
• Attempts to disrupt, reverse engineer, or circumvent access controls, rate limits, or other technical protections

Intellectual property

What Else is Inside? branding, user interface, proprietary analysis, scoring methodology, structured outputs, databases, compilations, derived data, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual property and related laws and remain owned by Danesc, LLC or its licensors.

Third-party brands, trademarks, product names, and package marks remain owned or licensed by their respective owners. Display of third-party marks does not imply endorsement.

License to use the service; no scraping or commercial reuse

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use What Else is Inside? for your personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

Except for the limited license above, you may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, republish, scrape, crawl, harvest, mine, train models on, resell, sublicense, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from What Else is Inside? content, data, scores, analyses, compilations, or derived datasets — whether obtained through the website, app, APIs, exports, screenshots, or any other means — without prior written permission from Danesc, LLC.

Upstream data providers and package brands retain whatever rights they have in their own materials. Nothing in these Terms transfers those third-party rights to you, and nothing authorizes you to use our proprietary analyses, rankings, or derived outputs commercially.

Confidential methods and non-public materials

Our data sources, acquisition methods, matching pipelines, scoring implementations, internal identifiers, and related technical details are confidential business information. You may not attempt to discover, reconstruct, or disclose those materials except as required by law.

Public pages describe what scores mean for consumers. They are not a disclosure of our upstream datasets, suppliers, or derivation pipelines.

We do not guarantee that the service will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. Features may change or be discontinued.
