It is important to remember that not all foods in NUTTAB 2010 will have a matching food in Release 1 and vice versa. Matching file has been provided to link published NUTTAB 2010 Food IDs to Release 1 Keys. It will also allow for more streamlined updates for users of our database. The introduction of the Key will help users compare nutrient data for the same food over publication releases. The same Key will also be used in any future AUSNUT or Nutrition Panel Calculator (NPC) publications.

For example, full fat cow’s milk will now use the Key ‘F005634’ in Release 1 and in all future releases. The Key will remain the same for each equivalent food across our food composition publications.

This is the first time we have introduced the Key which will replace the previously used Food ID. What is new since NUTTAB 2010?Ī number of changes have been made to the database, including an updated user interface and changes to the data itself.Įach food published in Release 1 of the Australian Food Composition Database has a unique numeric identification code called the Public Food Key (the Key). The name was changed to make it clear what the database contains. It is our most recent reference database with data preparation completed in 2017. Release 1 of the Australian Food Composition Database contains nutrient data for 1,534 foods available in Australia and up to 256 nutrients per food. Only a small proportion of data in the database come from other sources such as recipe calculations, food labels, imputing from similar foods or by borrowing from other countries. It is referred to as a reference database because it contains mostly analysed data. The Australian Food Composition Database (previously called NUTTAB) is a reference database that contains data on the nutrient content of Australian foods. (January 2019) Welcome to our new look food composition database! Some of the new features include improved search functionality, easier food identification and new data.
