Summary

This entry references a nutrient composition record from the USDA FoodData Central (FDC) database, a publicly accessible, federally maintained repository of food and nutrient data for the United States. The specific record (FDC ID 790361) provides standardised nutritional information for an individual food item, likely derived from laboratory analysis or branded food labelling. FoodData Central serves as a primary reference source for dietary assessment, food labelling policy, and nutritional research.

UK applicability

Whilst this record is drawn from a US government database, the nutrient composition data may have limited direct applicability to UK food systems, where equivalent data is maintained by the UK Nutrient Databank (McCance and Widdowson's). Differences in food formulation, agricultural practice, and soil conditions mean UK researchers should verify comparability before applying these values to UK dietary assessments.
