According to PlainSubstitute's curated culinary and food-science substitution corpus (ratios and quality scores), with USDA FoodData Central and FDA allergen labeling as the public references for nutrition composition and major-allergen caveats, not as the ratio sources, no number is typed in by an editor. Ratios on this page are compiled culinary practice (see /methodology). USDA/FDA links are adjacent public references for nutrition and allergen labeling. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology behind these numbers, the data & editorial changelog, or report a data error. Data current as of September 2026.
