For dietitians
Why do you need food composition data?
Access to accurate food composition data is essential for dietitians to carry out nutritional assessments and interventions with their patients. The management of some medical conditions (e.g. phenylketonuria and renal disease) requires accurate calculation of the amount of specific nutrients in foods and in the persons overall diet. Also, dietitians need to be able to easily identify foods that contain low, medium or high amounts of various nutrients to appropriately advise their patients.
The eSearch facility provided by EuroFIR AISBL provides you with easy access to the latest food composition information for thousands of foods and mixed dishes from across Europe, including traditional ethnic foods. You can search your own country specific database or simultaneously search more than 20 national and specialised food composition databases. Values for a variety of food components can be viewed, including energy, vitamins, minerals and bioactive substances.
