The ICBF (Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar) food composition table is the official Colombian reference database that SATN uses as the foundation of every nutritional calculation. When you build a product recipe, SATN looks up each ingredient in this table to retrieve its per-100 g nutritional values, then applies mass balance to compute the final nutritional label. Keeping this table accurate and complete is therefore essential for generating compliant labels.Documentation Index
