USDA FoodData Central (FDC) is the center of the USDA-based food composition information web. It is an integrated data system that presently provides—in one place—five distinct types of data containing information on food and nutrient profiles. The Human Studies Facility (HSF) serves to design and implement research diets based on study specifications for human volunteers as part of CRIS project plans and to assist in the acquisition and preparation of foods for analysis for inclusion in FDC.
