Scales often use USDA information on food to ensure accuracy. The products are used primarily as a weight-management tool but have found a user base of diabetics and hypertensive people.
[Weighing the food]
The scale uses a sensor to determine the weight of the food. Some scales have a tare function, which allows you to zero out the weight of the container before adding the food.[1]
