[Note: Integrated as part of FoodData Central, April 2019.] The database consists of several sets of data: food descriptions, nutrients, weights and measures, footnotes, and sources of data. The Nutrient Data file contains mean nutrient values per 100 g of the edible portion of food, along with fields to further describe the mean value. Information is provided on household measures for food items. Weights are given for edible material without refuse. Footnotes are provided for a few items where information about food description, weights and measures, or nutrient values could not be accommodated in existing fields. Data have been compiled from published and unpublished sources. Published data sources include the scientific literature. Unpublished data include those obtained from the food industry, other government agencies, and research conducted under contracts initiated by USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS). Updated data have been published electronically on the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL) web site since 1992. Standard Reference (SR) 28 includes composition data for all the food groups and nutrients published in the 21 volumes of "Agriculture Handbook 8" (US Department of Agriculture 1976-92), and its four supplements (US Department of Agriculture 1990-93), which superseded the 1963 edition (Watt and Merrill, 1963). SR28 supersedes all previous releases, including the printed versions, in the event of any differences.

[Note: Integrated as part of FoodData Central, April 2019.] USDA's Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) is a database that is used to convert food and beverages consumed in What We Eat In America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) into gram amounts and to determine their nutrient values. Because FNDDS is used to generate the nutrient intake data files for WWEIA, NHANES, it is not required to estimate nutrient intakes from the survey. FNDDS is made available for researchers using WWEIA, NHANES to review the nutrient profiles for specific foods and beverages as well as their associated portions and recipes. Such detailed information makes it possible for researchers to conduct enhanced analysis of dietary intakes. FNDDS can also be used in other dietary studies to code foods/beverages and amounts eaten and to calculate the amounts of nutrients/food components in those items.
FNDDS is released every two-years in conjunction with the WWEIA, NHANES dietary data release. The FNDDS is available for free download from the FSRG website.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) is the major source of food composition data in the United States. It provides the foundation for most food composition databases in the public and private sectors.

The Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database provides food price data to support research on the economic determinants of food consumption, diet quality, and health outcomes.

Following a request from the European Commission for a review of European dietary reference values (DRVs), the EFSA’s Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) has prepared a number of Scientific Opinions on DRVs for micronutrients. The DATA Unit supported this activity by estimating the nutrient intake of a number of micronutrients in nine selected European countries and different age groups. In addition, the DATA Unit also provided information on average content of food sources of the respective nutrients per country based on the composition database, as well as main food group contributors to nutrient intakes and assessed the comparability of the provided data with pertinent published intake data. Intake estimates have been assessed using food consumption data from the EFSA Comprehensive Food Consumption Database (EFSA, 2011a) and the EFSA Nutrient composition database. Food composition data used to populate the Nutrient composition database were provided to EFSA through the EFSA procurement project ‘Updated food composition database for nutrient intake’ (Roe at al., 2013). Data were provided following the EFSA specification for standard sample description for food and feed and were classified according to the FoodEx2 classification system of EFSA (EFSA, 2011b). The food composition data used in these assessments and here published cover the following vitamins and minerals: calcium (Ca); copper (Cu); cobalamin (vitamin B12); magnesium (Mg); niacin; phosphorus (P); potassium (K); riboflavin; thiamin; iron (Fe); selenium (Se); vitamin B6; vitamin K, zinc (Zn), and vitamin E1. The food composition dataset contains data from seven2 countries: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, and United Kingdom. This dataset version has been checked for outliers but is prior to data completion for missing foods and nutrient values. 1 Vitamin E is defined as alpha-tocopherol (AT) only, however as most food composition databases in the EU contain values as alpha-tocopherol equivalents (TE), data on TE are also provided 2 For the nutrient intake estimates of Ireland and Latvia present in the opinions of the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), food composition data from UK and Germany were respectively used EU; XLSX; data.collection@efsa.europa.eu

USDA’s Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED) converts the foods and beverages in the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies to the 37 USDA Food Patterns components. The FPED was formerly known as the MyPyramid Equivalents Database. The FPED serves as a unique research tool to evaluate food and beverage intakes of Americans with respect to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations. The Food Patterns are measured as cup equivalents of Fruit, Vegetables, and Dairy; ounce equivalents of Grains and Protein Foods; teaspoon equivalents of Added Sugars; gram equivalents of Solid Fats and Oils; and the number of Alcoholic Drinks. In addition to the SAS datasets, the FPED release includes: (1) the Food Patterns Equivalents Ingredient Database (FPID) that includes the 37 USDA Food Patterns components per 100 grams of each unique ingredient used in the FNDDS; and (2) listings of gram weights for one cup equivalents of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and legumes used in the FPED.

Several USDA food composition databases, including the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), Standard Reference (SR) Legacy, and the USDA Branded Food Products Database, have transitioned to FoodData Central, a new and harmonized USDA food and nutrient data system. FoodData Central also includes expanded nutrient content information as well as links to diverse data sources that offer related agricultural, environmental, food, health, dietary supplement, and other information. The new system is designed to strengthen the capacity for rigorous research and policy applications through its search capabilities, downloadable datasets, and detailed documentation. Application developers can incorporate the information into their applications and web sites through the application programming interface (API) REST access. The constantly changing and expanding food supply is a challenge to those who are interested in using food and nutrient data. Including diverse types of data in one data system gives researchers, policymakers, and other audiences a key resource for addressing vital nutrition and health issues. FoodData Central:

Includes five distinct types of data containing information on food and nutrient profiles, each with a unique purpose: Foundation Foods; Experimental Foods; Standard Reference; Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies; USDA Global Branded Food Products Database. Provides a broad snapshot in time of the nutrients and other components found in a wide variety of foods and food products. Presents data that come from a variety of sources and are updated as new information becomes available. Includes values that are derived through a variety of analytic and computational approaches, using state-of-the-art methodologies and transparent presentation.

FoodData Central is managed by the Agricultural Research Service and hosted by the National Agricultural Library. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Website Pointer for FoodData Central. File Name: Web Page, url: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/index.html Includes Search, Download data, API Guide, Data Type Documentation, and Help pages.

This dataset analyzes expenditures on major consumption categories including food and different food subcategories across 114 countries. The dataset is created from USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)-Economic Research Service calculations using 2005 International Comparison Program (ICP) data.

[Note: Integrated as part of FoodData Central, April 2019.] The USDA Branded Food Products Database is the result of a Public-Private Partnership, whose goal is to enhance public health and the sharing of open data by complementing USDA Food Composition Databases with nutrient composition of branded foods and private label data provided by the food industry. Members of the Public-Private Partnership include: Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA (www.ars.usda.gov) Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences (IAFNS) (www.iafns.org) GS1 US (www.gs1us.org/) 1WorldSync (www.1worldsync.com) Label Insight (www.labelinsight.com) University of Maryland, Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (jifsan.umd.edu) The BFPDB includes: product name and generic descriptor, serving size in grams or milliliters, nutrients on the Nutrition Facts Panel per serving size and 100 gram-basis, 100 ml-basis, or fluid oz-basis, ingredient list, (never before captured by USDA), and date stamp associated with most current product formulation. All data will be archived, allowing for dietary trends tracking. The BFPDB allows: dietitians to provide specific dietary guidance; researchers to better link dietary intakes to disease measures; and policy makers to develop guidance which promotes public health. New in this August 2018 release are downloadable database files (ASCII .csv and MS Access), Application Programming Interface (API), and Documentation and Download User Guide.

The dataset, Survey-SR, provides the nutrient data for assessing dietary intakes from the national survey What We Eat In America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (WWEIA, NHANES). Historically, USDA databases have been used for national nutrition monitoring (1). Currently, the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) (2), is used by Food Surveys Research Group, ARS, to process dietary intake data from WWEIA, NHANES. Nutrient values for FNDDS are based on Survey-SR. Survey-SR was referred to as the "Primary Data Set" in older publications. Early versions of the dataset were composed mainly of commodity-type items such as wheat flour, sugar, milk, etc. However, with increased consumption of commercial processed and restaurant foods and changes in how national nutrition monitoring data are used (1), many commercial processed and restaurant items have been added to Survey-SR. The current version, Survey-SR 2013-2014, is mainly based on the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) 28 (2) and contains sixty-six nutrientseach for 3,404 foods. These nutrient data will be used for assessing intake data from WWEIA, NHANES 2013-2014. Nutrient profiles were added for 265 new foods and updated for about 500 foods from the version used for the previous survey (WWEIA, NHANES 2011-12). New foods added include mainly commercially processed foods such as several gluten-free products, milk substitutes, sauces and condiments such as sriracha, pesto and wasabi, Greek yogurt, breakfast cereals, low-sodium meat products, whole grain pastas and baked products, and several beverages including bottled tea and coffee, coconut water, malt beverages, hard cider, fruit-flavored drinks, fortified fruit juices and fruit and/or vegetable smoothies. Several school lunch pizzas and chicken products, fast-food sandwiches, and new beef cuts were also added, as they are now reported more frequently by survey respondents. Nutrient profiles were updated for several commonly consumed foods such as cheddar, mozzarella and American cheese, ground beef, butter, and catsup. The changes in nutrient values may be due to reformulations in products, changes in the market shares of brands, or more accurate data. Examples of more accurate data include analytical data, market share data, and data from a nationally representative sample.

The Nutrient Data Laboratory is responsible for developing authoritative nutrient databases that contain a wide range of food composition values of the nation's food supply. This requires updating and revising the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) and developing various special interest databases. However, with over 7,000 food items in SR and a complete nutrient profile costing approximately $2,000 for one sample, analyzing every food item for every nutrient and meeting all user requirements is impossible. Consequently, priorities must be determined. Procedures using food consumption data and nutrient values for developing the Key Foods list are explained. Key Foods have been identified as those food items that contribute up to 75% of any one nutrient to the dietary intake of the US population. These Key Foods will be used to set priorities for nutrient analyses under the National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program. The tables describe key foods based on Continuing Survey Of Food Intakes By Individuals (CSFII, 1989-) and WWEIA-NHANES (What We Eat In America - National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-) survey data.

ADFS is a web server system that integrates a database of allergenic proteins for food safety. This allergen database for food safety was launched as a project of the Novel Foods and Immunochemistry of National Institute of Health Sciences, and this project was partly supported by a grant from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. To survey the sequence homology in assessing a potential of allergenicity of a protein in the food, the database has been constructed to include known allergens and B-cell epitope sequences. This database includes 13 (aero animal, aero fungi, aero insect, aero mite, aero plant, contact, food animal, food fungi, food plant, gliadin, protozoan, venom/salivary, and worm) categorized allergens based on allergen type in AllergenOnline, with their accession numbers, epitope information, 3D-structure information, and sugar-containing information . This site also provides sequence search tools for obtaining the sequence homology of a certain protein or peptide relating to allergens (BLAST, epitope(peptide) search). Furthermore, this site provides allergenicity prediction tools of a certain protein (FAO/WHO method, Motif-based method).

The NEFSC Food Habits Database has two major sources of data. The first, and most extensive, is the standard NEFSC Bottom Trawl Surveys Program. During these surveys, food habits data are collected for a variety of species. Additionally, "process-oriented" cruises are conducted periodically to address specific questions related to the feeding ecology of the fish in the ecosystem.

Abstract

Household Income and Expenditure Surveys (HIES) are implemented to rebase consumer price indices and estimates of household contribution to national gross domestic product. More recently, HIES data have been used in poverty analyses and to conduct nutrition and food security oriented analyses. The more recent applications of HIES data – poverty, nutrition and food security – require the use of edible-portion conversion factors to convert the reported acquisition of wholefoods into edible portions so estimates can be made of what people apparently ingest. These data then require the use of food composition tables (FCTs) to convert the edible portion into caloric and nutrient consumption values, so total energy and nutrient consumption can be estimated. HIES data in the Pacific region are coded using the United Nations Statistics Division’s Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP); however, there is no regionally standardised linkage between COICOP and the Pacific Islands Food Composition Tables Second Edition (PIFCT). Furthermore, the PIFCTs do not have edible-portion conversion factors and are insufficient to cover the full list of foods reported in the HIES. To address this, the Pacific Nutrient Database (PNDB) was developed to provide the Pacific region with a standard set of conversion factors and food composition data that are mapped to COICOP (1999). To add more value to the database, each food item is also mapped to COICOP 2018, classified into FAO Commodity Groups and food groups to compute Household Dietary Diversity Scores (HDDS). The PNDB includes 26 components plus edible and inedible portions for a total of 822 foods.

SuperTracker was an online tool offered by USDA (2011-2018) that helped users track diet, physical activity and weight. SuperTracker provided a personalized plan based on the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans for what you should eat and drink and guided users to making better choices. This dataset includes the SuperTracker source code (latest update April 2018), including: front end application, database schema, documentation, deployment scripts and a ReadMe.txt file that provides high level instructions for the source code. Database connection strings and actual data are not included. The full foods database spreadsheet is attached as well; these foods are based on the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), and the Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED), both from the USDA/ARS Food Surveys Research Group.

It is important to note that the code is based on 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and will not be updated to reflect future guidance. In addition, the food database is based on FNDDS from 2011-2012 (FNDDS 6.0) and FPED from 2011-2012 and will not be updated with future data releases.
