Who is responsible for this content
The publisher is EEINA Development Establishment for Information Technology (CR 7041568580), headquartered in Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We are responsible for the accuracy of every nutritional claim published on eeina.com and the EEINA app, and we hold ourselves to clear standards in preparing and verifying it.
Our approved sources
We build our nutritional values on scientific databases recognized both internationally and locally, most notably:
- USDA FoodData Central — the US Department of Agriculture's food composition database.
- Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) — the Saudi regulatory and nutritional reference.
- The University of Sydney's Glycemic Index database — the global reference for Glycemic Index (GI) values.
- Gulf food-composition tables (such as Bahrain's BFCT) for local dishes and ingredients.
We also draw on other credible scientific sources when needed, and we cite the reference directly on the page whenever it concerns a specific piece of information.
How we calculate nutritional values
For every recipe, we calculate its nutritional values from its actual ingredients according to international food-composition standards, accounting for how cooking affects certain nutrients. Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) values are drawn from published databases, never from arbitrary estimates.
How we verify — we do not publish unverified claims
Our core commitment is simple and strict: every piece of information is tied to a source, and we do not publish any unverified claim.
- Content is reviewed before publishing, and any number without a credible source is not published.
- We distinguish between types of information (nutritional value, health effect, culinary fact) and verify each against its own standard.
- We do not fabricate studies, numbers, or names; what we cannot document, we do not state.
