Provide estimates of missing nutrients on products (especially fruits) using CIQUAL #7225

Open teolemon opened 2 years ago

teolemon commented 2 years ago

Problem description

In many products, the nutrition table is either missing or incomplete (eg: Selenium, Iodine,…), and some people and some apps (for nutrition tracking, or rare diseases) would want estimates.

Desired solution

Create new nutrition fields with an _estimated suffix to provide those values using average values of missing nutrients using CIQUAL

Number of products impacted

near 100%, because even for products with a legal nutrition table, we only have values for "legally printed nutrients"

It is also possible to use the averages of a category for this.
