Food Composition
The Portuguese Food Composition Database is a national reference document for the composition of foods consumed in Portugal. Includes information about 42 nutrients (Energy, Macronutrients, Fatty Acids, Vitamins and Minerals).
The current version of Portuguese Food Composition Database, used FoodCASE software which uses Euro FIR method for the calculation of nutrients in recipes. Energy values were calculated according Regulation (EU) N.º 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011.
