08 Apr 2019 --- A new nutrient database, hailed as an “essential resource” for the industry, health and nutrition professionals, policymakers and consumers, has been launched by the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The database is an integrated food and nutrient data system, called FoodData Central, which provides online access to nutrient profile information on a wide variety of food products.
