Search by Ingredient "Annatto" Returns incorrect results

Rapid account: Kaitlynjoy

I am using the Search By Ingredient PHP method to request recipes including the spice “annatto.” The request returns many recipes, but none of these recipes include annatto.

My request is as follows:
$response = Unirest\Request::get(“https://spoonacular-recipe-food-nutrition-v1.p.mashape.com/recipes/findByIngredients?fillIngredients=false&ingredients=annatto&limitLicense=true&number=6&ranking=1

These recipes indicate that there is one matching ingredient from the search, but annatto is not found in any of these recipes. Is there an error in the API or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you!

Hi Kaitlyn,

“annatto” is a natural food coloring and many of the returned recipes use natural food coloring. I am going to investigate why this is so fuzzy in the case of “annatto” but you are not doing anything wrong.

Best,
David
