This website is designed to provide information on the New Zealand Food Composition Database and to receive feedback from users.

Plant & Food Research is responsible for analysing the nutrient content of approximately 50 foods each year, corresponding to 2200 nutrient values. The food composition team at Plant & Food Research prepares a draft list of priority foods for analysis approximately every six months. Information on food and nutrition can also be sourced from published research and overseas food composition databases. In addition, the food industry can provide analytical data for inclusion in the New Zealand Food Composition Database.

Contact Food Composition if you have analytical data you would like to submit.
