Project notes
Site update log
A dated record of substantive changes to Veggie Versus and its food comparison tools.
22 October 2026 — Food icons restored
Restored the original style of food emoji icons throughout the league table, catalogue, selectors and comparison headings. Nutrient data and scoring remain unchanged.
22 October 2026 — Navigation simplified
Removed the standalone project introduction and its navigation links. Sources, calculation notes and the correction route remain available on their dedicated pages.
22 October 2026 — Dedicated league table
- Restored a standalone league table with a disclosed custom nutrient score, numbered ranks, source links and category/search filters.
- Foods missing a required measurement remain visible without a score. The portion comparison tool remains available separately.
- Restored labelled preview-only ad placements. Real advertising scripts remain disabled.
20 October 2026 — Transparent food comparisons
- Replaced the overall nutrition and antioxidant ranking with separate nutrient values and an adjustable portion comparison.
- Imported 60 explicitly selected USDA SR Legacy records with FDC IDs and source descriptions. Unmatched legacy entries are not carried into this catalogue.
- Added preparation labels, source links and missing-value handling.
- Added shareable comparison URLs and CSV exports with source references.
- Published three worked comparison guides, methodology and a public correction route.
- Corrected canonical URLs to www.veggieversus.org and added static navigation, a sitemap and crawler instructions.
- Removed placeholder ad slots and stopped loading advertising scripts in this version.
This is a log of changes made to the site, not a claim that the source nutrient measurements were newly collected. SR Legacy’s final release was April 2018.
Earlier version
The earlier site offered searchable food rankings and a two-food comparison. Its code history is preserved in the public repository. Earlier release dates are not reconstructed here.
