Database Submission

Thank you for your interest in submitting additional nutrition data to ESHA’s nutritional database. The Nutrition Department is responsible for creating and maintaining the extensive database, incorporating new nutrient recommendations into the program, and a host of other objectives. Each submission will be considered. Accepted submissions will be vetted for accuracy before being integrated into the database.

You can submit data in a number of ways:

  1. For a single item, e-mail the supplier data sheet or product Nutrition Facts information to database@esha.com. Word, Excel, pdf, image files, and other electronic forms are acceptable.
  2. For multiple products, provide a supplier data sheet or Nutrition Facts information for each item, or contact database@esha.com for a data submission form.
  3. Provide your own electronic form, e.g. spreadsheet(s) with the necessary information. Please refer to the list below for the fields that we need.
  4. Send a link to your company website that provides current product information. If data-sheet access requires a login, please provide us with the necessary permissions.
