Hi FatSecret team,

We're exploring adding a "Verified" indicator for trusted food entries in our application.

Is there any field or property returned by the FatSecret API (such as foods.search, food.get, or barcode lookup endpoints) that indicates whether a food item is verified or curated? For example, is there an is_verified flag or any similar attribute that we can use to display a "Verified" badge for individual food entries?

If not, is there a recommended approach for identifying trusted or verified foods through the API?

Thank you!

Thanks for reaching out.
All food items in our database are verified prior to publication.
As such, a 'verified' badge is not applicable or necessary.
