This application uses data from the The Food Composition Table (FCT) (Matvaretabellen)

The Food Composition Table (FCT) provides information concerning the nutrient- and energy content of the most commonly consumed foods in Norway.

Approximately 1300 different food items and values for 36 different nutrients are included in the FCT. The nutritional values are presented in the FCT for each of the food items in the form in which they are usually found in stores (mostly unprepared). In addition, the table also provides nutritional values of a variety of prepared foods and dishes. All values presented in the table refer to the content per 100 grams of an edible portion of the food, i.e. after parts that are usually not eaten, such as peel, pits and shell, have been removed. The FCT is updated regularly as new food products are launched every year, and because ingredients in existing food products and methods of production change frequently.

The Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Directorate for Health and the Department of Nutrition at the University of Oslo have collaborated to publish the Norwegian Food Composition Table.
