EuroFIR (European Food Information Resource) is a non-profit international association, which supports use of existing food composition data and future resources through cooperation and harmonization of data quality,[1] functionality and global standards.
The purpose of the association is the development, management, publication and exploitation of food composition data, and the promotion of international cooperation and harmonization through improved data quality, food composition database searchability and standards, for example, with the European Committee for Standardization on the standard for food data.[2] Other work includes that on ethnic [3] and traditional foods [4] and critical evaluation of data on nutrients [5]
