Summary

This record corresponds to a single food entry (FDC ID 790085) within the USDA FoodData Central (FDC) database, a publicly accessible nutritional reference resource maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The database compiles standardised nutrient composition data drawn from laboratory analyses, food industry submissions, and national dietary surveys. This is a reference data entry rather than a peer-reviewed study, and should be treated as a primary nutritional database source.

UK applicability

The USDA FoodData Central database reflects nutritional data for foods produced and consumed primarily in the United States; nutrient values may differ from UK equivalents held in the McCance and Widdowson nutrient composition tables, owing to differences in soil, agricultural practice, and food processing standards.

Key measures

Nutrient concentrations per 100g serving including macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals as catalogued by USDA FoodData Central

Outcomes reported

Records the nutrient profile of a specific food item (FDC ID 790085) including macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and minerals as held in the USDA FoodData Central reference database.
