Every care is taken to ensure that data within the New Zealand Food Composition Database is true and correct. An updated version of FOODfiles is released every 2 years. A new edition of The Concise New Zealand Food Composition Tables is published every 3 years. Occasionally there is a need to update information between these releases. Click here to view foods that have been added to or deleted from the database since the release of FOODfiles 2006. The New Zealand Food Composition Database contains over 2700 foods and 250 000 component or nutrient values. When handling large datasets it is inevitable that anomalies will occasionally occur.
