# CPG Overview

> What Orbbit's CPG data covers, and how it relates to commodity prices.

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) are everyday products that people use up and buy again often, such as food, drinks, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. Orbbit's CPG data covers what's in a brand's packaged food products: ingredients, nutrition, serving size, barcode, and maker. Ingredient prices are a separate data set, [Commodities](https://data-docs.orbbit.co/market-data/commodities.md), under Market Data.

## How the pieces fit

A CPG brand buys ingredients, makes a packaged product, and sells it in stores, to wholesalers, or straight to consumers online. Each data set covers one part of that path.

| Question | Data set | What you get |
| - | - | - |
| What do raw ingredients cost on the market? | [Commodities](https://data-docs.orbbit.co/market-data/commodities.md) (Market Data) | USDA market prices for food commodities such as butter, cheese, and chicken. It is not specific to CPG, so it lives under Market Data. |
| What's in the product? | [Branded food](https://data-docs.orbbit.co/industry-data/cpg/branded-food.md) | The label of a packaged food: ingredients, nutrition, serving size, barcode, and who makes it. |

## Putting them together

The data sets share words you can match on, such as an ingredient or a category, so you can connect them in your own code. For example:

* Ingredient exposure. Search [Branded food](https://data-docs.orbbit.co/industry-data/cpg/branded-food.md) for products whose ingredients contain `butter`, then pull butter prices from [Commodities](https://data-docs.orbbit.co/market-data/commodities.md) to see how the market price of that ingredient has moved.

## Where the data comes from

| Data set | `source` | Publisher |

| Branded food | `usda-fdc` | USDA FoodData Central, submitted by the brand owners |
