The Databases
Food composition databases available in MyFoodTrackr, with links to the original source.
🇨🇦 Canadian Nutrient File
Health Canada's reference food composition database covering thousands of Canadian foods with comprehensive nutrient data.
🇺🇸 USDA SR Legacy
The USDA Standard Reference Legacy database — a comprehensive reference dataset of whole and minimally processed foods with detailed nutrient profiles.
🇺🇸 USDA Foundation Foods
Rigorously measured whole and minimally processed foods from USDA FoodData Central, selected for their importance to the US diet.
🇺🇸 USDA Branded Foods
Nutritional data for branded and packaged food products sold in the United States, sourced from manufacturers and the USDA.
Note: Values are taken from Nutrition Facts labels reported by manufacturers, not from USDA laboratory analysis. Labels may omit nutrients, use rounded figures, or become outdated — so this database is generally less complete and less reliable than SR Legacy or Foundation Foods for generic ingredients.
🇦🇺 Australian Food Composition Database
The FSANZ Australian Food Composition Database — nutrient data for foods commonly consumed in Australia, maintained by Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
