FSANZ alerts you to the inherent limitations of these data. Food composition data are average values obtained from a particular sample of foods, determined at a particular time. The nutrient composition of foods can vary substantially over different batches, and between brands because of a number of factors including changes in season, processing practices and ingredient source (including country of origin). Data generated for Australian foods may not be appropriate for use in other countries.
To get the most accurate nutritional information possible about packaged manufactured goods, we recommend you read the nutritional panel printed on the food label.
