To be able to get this Dietary Modelling System working,
the complete database on contaminants and nutrients
which has possible toxicity at certain level needs to be
obtained along with the intake data. The Nutrition
Evaluation Team tries to set up the food composition database
by standardizing the analysis methodologies from
the certified national labs. The agency will invest more
resources into the research on micro-nutrient analysis and
other database components for Dietary Modelling System
such as nutrient retention factors and standardized recipe
database. Food intake survey along with rich nutrient and
contaminants database will enable facilitating not only the
risk assessment but also the nutrition assessment.
