Food Safety
Gives Claude access to 6,000+ food additives cross-referenced against JECFA and EFSA safety evaluations, ADI limits, and regulatory status across EU, US, and Israel. You get five tools: check individual additives by E-number or name, scan full ingredient lists for risk flags, search by function or dietary compatibility, pull Israeli Ministry of Health nutrition data, and query pesticide MRLs. Every record links back to primary sources from WHO/FAO, EFSA, or national authorities. Runs on Cloudflare Workers with D1 storage. Useful when you're building food tech products, need to validate ingredient safety in real time, or want regulatory intelligence without paying $15k/year for commercial databases.

Roots by Benda — Food Safety & Regulatory Intelligence MCP Server
Food additive safety, nutrition, and pesticide residue data in one MCP. Check any E-number, food additive, or ingredient against JECFA/EFSA evaluations, ADI limits, allergen flags, dietary compatibility (halal/kosher/vegan), Israeli nutrition profiles, and pesticide MRLs — all source-linked and free.
Equivalent data through commercial food safety platforms (FoodNavigator Pro, Decernis) costs $15,000+/year. This MCP is free.
