The "Sources" column shows which of our four live sources reports the nutrient. The composite ingredient record gap-fills from secondary sources where the primary source is silent (see Cross-source reconciliation).

EU NRVs follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII Part A. NRVs are not defined for macronutrients; the column shows "—" in those rows.

Macronutrients

Nutrient	DB column	Unit	EU NRV	Sources	Notes
Energy	`energy_kcal`	kcal	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	UK Atwater factors. kJ recalculated independently of kcal, not via 4.184.
Energy	`energy_kj`	kJ	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	See kcal note.
Fat	`fat_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian
Saturated fat	`saturated_fat_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	Cross-validated against total fat (saturated ≤ total).
Carbohydrate, total	`carbohydrates_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	EU FIC convention. Source values reported as carbohydrate-by-difference are converted at the transform layer.
Sugars, total	`sugars_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	Cross-validated against carbohydrate (sugars ≤ carbs).
Free sugars	`free_sugars_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	SACN 2015 definition. Sourced directly where available; rule-based classification with nutritionist review otherwise.
Fibre	`fibre_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	AOAC method preferred. NSP × 1.33 → AOAC conversion applied for HFSS scoring.
Protein	`protein_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian
Salt	`salt_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	Derived as sodium (mg) × 2.5 / 1000 where source reports sodium only.
Sodium	`sodium_mg`	mg	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian
Starch	`starch_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian
Water	`water_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	Tracked for macro-closure validation; not used for normalisation.
Alcohol	`alcohol_g`	g	—	CoFID Swedish Norwegian Canadian	Atwater factor 7 kcal/g (29 kJ/g).

Conversion notes: Vitamin A → RAE (retinol + β-carotene/12). Vitamin E → α/β/γ/δ tocopherol summed where reported separately. Folate → labelled "Folic acid" per FIC NRV vocabulary; underlying value is total folate µg.
