# Nutrition data — the contract between the agent team, Fiesta and the app
The customer app shows a nutrition panel on the product screen. The data comes
from the global catalogue, which the agent team fills. This is what each side
has to produce and can rely on.
---
## 1. What the app receives
`GET /live/api/v1/mob/products/getproductbyvariant?tenantid=&productid=&variantid=`
Each product in `details[]` carries:
```json
"nutrition": {
"per": "100g",
"servingsize": "30g",
"items": [
{ "name": "Energy", "value": 520, "unit": "kcal" },
{ "name": "Protein", "value": 6.5, "unit": "g" },
{ "name": "Total Sugars", "value": 22, "unit": "g" },
{ "name": "Sodium", "value": 310, "unit": "mg" }
]
}
```
Rules the app can build on:
- **The key is ABSENT when nothing is known.** Not `null`, not `{}`. A missing
key means "we do not know", never "this food has no nutrition".
- **`items` is never empty when `nutrition` is present.** A panel with no rows
is not sent, because an empty box on a product page reads as a claim.
- **`per` and `servingsize` are each optional** and often absent — see §3. Show
the basis only when it is there. Do not default it to `100g`: a wrong basis
makes every figure beneath it a misstatement rather than an unknown.
- **`value` is a number, and may be a decimal.** Saturated fat is 11.5 g as
often as 11 g.
- **`unit` is free text and may be absent.** "Servings per pack 4" has a figure
and no unit.
- **A row may have a `name` and a `value` of 0 with no unit.** That is real
label text with no number in it — "Contains permitted natural colour". Render
the name and leave the figure column blank; do not print `0`.
- Every member of a variant group carries its own panel, so switching from
500 ml to 1 L does not blank the screen.
## 2. What the agent team fills
A `nutrition` column of type **`jsonb`** on each `brand_*` table in the
catalogue database, holding exactly the object above.
```sql
ALTER TABLE brand_patanjali ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS nutrition jsonb;
```
Notes:
- **The column is optional and Fiesta already handles its absence.** Catalogue
reads discover columns per table and substitute NULL for any that are missing,
so brands can be filled one at a time and a table without the column keeps
working. Nothing has to be co-ordinated with a deploy.
- **Spelling is `servingsize`**, one word, lowercase. It is the shape the app
was written against.
- **Write what the label says.** If the pack states per 100 g, `per` is `"100g"`.
If it states per serving, say so. If it states neither, omit the field rather
than assuming.
- `nutrition` and the older `nutrients` may both exist on a row. Keep both —
the console shows the lines, the app shows the panel, and they are different
readers with different needs.
## 3. Where today's data comes from, and why it is thinner
Every catalogue row currently holds nutrition as `nutrients`, a `text[]` of
display lines:
```
{"Energy 350kcal", "Protein 7g"}
```
Fiesta parses those into the same panel shape when no structured `nutrition`
exists, so the app shows figures for products the agent team has not reached
yet. That derived panel has **no `per` and no `servingsize`** — the strings
never carried them — which is the visible difference between a filled brand and
one still waiting.
Parsing rules, in `models/nutrition.go`:
| line | becomes |
|---|---|
| `Energy 350kcal` | `{Energy, 350, kcal}` |
| `Protein: 6.5 g` | `{Protein, 6.5, g}` |
| `Energy - 520 kcal` | `{Energy, 520, kcal}` |
| `Vitamin B12 1.2µg` | `{Vitamin B12, 1.2, µg}` |
| `Servings per pack 4` | `{Servings per pack, 4, ""}` |
| `Contains permitted colour` | `{Contains permitted colour, 0, ""}` — kept whole |
| `100` | dropped — a figure with no label is noise |
Structured always wins over derived where both exist.
## 4. How it reaches a shop's product
The catalogue is the source; a tenant's product is a **snapshot** taken at
import, because the catalogue is re-scraped and rows retire. Chain:
```
brand_*.nutrition (agent team)
└─ catalogue read ─ repositories/catalogueRepository.go: nutritionOf
└─ import ─ services/productService.go: catalogueFactsOf
└─ products.cataloguefacts → {"nutrition": {...}, "nutrients": [...]}
└─ endpoint ─ services/productService.go: decorateNutrition
```
`getproductbyvariant` does **not** query the catalogue database. That would be a
cross-database lookup per product on a screen a shopper is waiting on. It reads
the snapshot only.
## 5. Products imported before the snapshot existed
**This is the one thing that must be done before any of it shows.**
`cataloguefacts` is empty on every product imported before that column existed —
measured on tenant 1147: 17 products, 15 catalogue-imported, **0 with facts**.
Those products will show no nutrition no matter what the catalogue holds.
The fix is a one-off backfill, which also restores their FSSAI licence,
highlights and provider list:
```sh
go run ./scratch/cataloguefactsbackfill # dry run — prints every change
go run ./scratch/cataloguefactsbackfill apply # writes, then prints the undo
```
It touches only products with an `imageid` and a NULL `cataloguefacts`, so
re-running it is a no-op rather than a second opinion. Run it **after** the agent
team fills a brand to pick up that brand's structured panels; it is safe to run
repeatedly as more brands are filled.
