The databank supplied is that from the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI): McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods - 6th Edition (2002), 5th Edition & supplements. Click here for details of the supplements.
The main nutrients are: energy, protein, total fat, saturates, monounsaturates, polyunsaturates, cholesterol, carbohydrate, starch, total sugars, individual sugars, fibre, alcohol, vitamins and minerals. For other nutrients e.g. individual fatty acids and tocopherols, data are only available for a relatively small proportion of foods - this should be taken into account when using data for these nutrients.
