## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need USDA-backed nutritional data with added health context for a specific food item. It is ideal for dietary tracking, meal planning assistants, health apps, or any use case requiring authoritative nutritional information rather than general web-scraped or estimated values.

## Known failure modes

- Food item not found in USDA database — returns 404 or empty result
- Ambiguous food query with no match — may return generic or incorrect item
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before response is returned
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 error
- Malformed or missing food query parameter — returns 400 bad request
