Abstract
Westat executed the field test for the second National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS-2) in 2022. Participants recorded acquisitions with a smartphone app by scanning barcodes and entering descriptions and price look-up (PLU) codes for 7 days. Three processes linked the food and beverage data to food codes. Barcode data were linked to the Circana, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Nutritionix databases to identify foods. The Purchase to Plate Crosswalk (PPC) linked Universal Product Codes (UPCs) to the 2017–2018 version of the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS). PLU codes were linked to FNDDS with a crosswalk. During data processing, coders reviewed automated matches and coded unmatched items with food codes from USDA’s FoodData Central while coding additional attributes. After the coding phase, SAS analysts linked USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) Food Purchase Groups, NPD Group restaurant characteristics, and store information. The FoodAPS-2 field test utilized multiple food and nutrient databases to describe food and beverage acquisitions. This combination of databases yielded information to identify food and beverage nutrients, food patterns equivalents, ingredients, portion size, package size, PPC form, PPC refuse, label claims, restaurant data, store data, ERS Food Purchase Groups, and brand names.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
