Details
Public Health England (PHE) is responsible for maintaining up-to-date data on the nutrient content of the UK food supply in order to support the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, and funds nutrient analysis of foods commonly consumed in the UK.
The 鈥楥omposition of Foods Integrated Dataset鈥� (CoFID) brings together all the available data as a single, consolidated dataset. The update published in 2021 incorporates data from a 2020 report on including updates for associated foods and recipes within the pork section.
Data on the following foods have been corrected:
- vitamin C in watercress
- iodine in soya yogurt
- vitamin E, sugars and biotin in boiled and steamed sweet potato
All other values remain unchanged from the 2019 update of CoFID.
In addition, certain foods that were included in the 2008 update were not reviewed or validated in the 2015, 2019 or 2021 update, and those foods are published separately in a file containing data for 鈥榦ld鈥� foods.
