2013 Unfortified breakfast cereal analytical program

2013 Unfortified breakfast cereal analytical program Background Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has analytical data for a limited range of breakfast cereals. The majority of the data FSANZ has is based on a small number of popular products fortified with a range of vitamins and minerals. Because of this, nutrient profiles for other fortified breakfast cereals consumed during the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) component of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS) were developed based on specific fortified lines that required calculations with adjustments to account for brand-specific levels of fortification. For unfortified breakfast cereals, analytical data for unprocessed cereal grains such as rice, wheat, bran…

2012 Cake and slice analytical program

2012 Cake and slice analytical program Background The majority of nutrient profiles for cakes and slices consumed during the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) component of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS) were developed using a recipe approach that took account of the typical ingredients and their relative proportions to calculate nutrient values in a food. In June 2012, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) undertook a small analytical program for a selection of cakes and slices to obtain data on the moisture, protein, total fat, starch, sugars, ash and sodium contents to verify that the recipe approach used by FSANZ produced nutrient values close to the analysed values. Sampling FSANZ selected six types of commercial cakes…

Data validation

Data validation The nutrient data in AUSNUT 2011-13 has undergone an extensive data validation process, with portions of the database also undergoing an external peer review process. Internal validation of nutrient data FSANZ undertook a series of internal data validation activities. Some validation activities focused on individual foods and beverages, while other activities focussed on specific nutrients, food categories, recipes, factors and system calculations. Some of the routine validation activities undertaken by FSANZ include checking:

all foods have a value for all nutrients to be reported
the sum of proximates for each food and beverage falls between 95 and 103 g/100 g unless the food is known to have a low sum of proximates (e.g. coffee…

Determining the amount of added sugars and free sugars in foods listed in the AUSNUT 2011-13 dataset

The Australian Government Department of Health provided funding for a project to determine the amount of added sugars consumed by Australians. In order to do this, two datasets were developed to allocate an amount of added sugars and free sugars present in each food in the AUSNUT 2011-131 dataset, the nutrient database for…

Developing the food nutrient database

Developing the food nutrient database Filling nutrient gaps in the core dataset Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NNPAS Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NATSINPAS Nutrient profiles for foods and beverages in AUSNUT 2011-13 were developed following the key steps outlined below, and reflect the foods and beverages consumed during the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS). Development…

Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NNPAS

Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NNPAS As food consumption was reported from the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) component of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS), FSANZ developed new nutrient profiles for reported foods and beverages that were not present in the core dataset. As with the development of the core dataset, a range of techniques were used to generate these nutrient profiles. The most common techniques were:

Recipe calculations
Modifying an existing nutrient profile using label data and imputation
Creating 'not further defined' lines

However, other techniques such as borrowing data were also used. This process…

Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NATSINPAS

Development of additional nutrient profiles for foods and beverages consumed in the NATSINPAS After the nutrient database for the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) component of the 2011-13 Australian Health Survey (AHS) had been finalised, new nutrient profiles were created for additional foods (and beverages) consumed during the 2012-13 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NATSINPAS) as needed. New nutrient profiles were generated for:

foods that were unique to the NATSINPAS such as wild caught fish and meat, wild harvested fruit and vegetables, insects, jackaroo flour based products etc that were not present in the nutrient database developed for the NNPAS…
