Food Composition Data
Winfood uses the Italian INRAN - IEO (Carnovale and Marletta, 2006) food composition database which, according to Medimatica, includes 1300 individual food items. According to the food composition database compilers, 67 nutrients are listed, but there are missing values especially for vitamins and minerals.
Additionally, Winfood includes data for 250 Frozen Foods (source not identified). As compared to the INRAN database, Winfood includes additional information on nutritional composition of included food items. More foods can be added by users.
Fortified food and food supplement composition information does not seem to be available.
