Abstract

Rapid Calculation of the nutrient content of foods and diets requires a current, easily accessible data base. The Canadian Nutrient File is a computerized information bank containing average values for nutrients in foods available in Canada. For easy accessibility, it contains subfiles for food names, nutrient names, and nutrient amounts. Users of the data should appreciate the limitations of this multi-use file.
