Visualization of the food facts dataset using d3.js
Free and open database of food products from around the world 75 000+ products from 150 countries
- Aim: Investigate the food consumption between countries. Do certain countries like to eat foods with more of one ingredient than others. Limitations: We limit our analysis for the food consumption on the top 10 countries per food ingredient.
