National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP)

The goals of NFNAP are to improve the quantity and quality of data in the USDA National Nutrient Databank (NDB).

NFNAP has produced annual updates of NDB for Standard Reference and a number of Special Interest Databases: isoflavones, choline, proanthocyanidins, fluoride, and flavonoids.

NFNAP is guided by five principle:

  1. Identify and rank foods and nutrients for analysis

  2. Evaluate existing data for foods and nutrients

  3. Develop strategies for sampling

  4. Process and analyze foods

  5. Review and disseminate results
