<p>This report  is  the final  report  of  the EFSA  contract  CFT/EFSA/DCM/2011/03.  The  aim  of  the  project was to provide  EFSA with an updated  food  composition  database  covering  approximately 1750  foods in  combination with  additional  FoodEx2  facet descriptors included  in  the EFSA FoodEx2classification  system,  and  to  expand the dataset to include harmonised information on the most common composite recipes of European countries and harmonised  information  on food supplements.  Proposals  for  models of nutrient  composition,  composite  dishes and food supplement databases were developed as well as guidelines for mapping food data in national datasets to EFSA FoodEx2 codes and facet descriptors. A model for data transfer, compatible with the EuroFIR technical annex and CEN Food Data Standard, and the EFSA data structure was developed and tested. Fourteen national food database compiler  organisations  supplied  initial  food  lists  mapped  to  the  EFSA  food  list.  Information  on commonly  consumed composite dishes  was  provided  by  compilers  from thirteen countries  and  information  on food supplements was  provided  by compilers from eight countries. Datasets  compatible  with  EFSA"s data structure  were  produced  based  on  the  models.  In addition, guidelines developed  and  limitations  of  the  data produced are discussed.</p>
