Capacity Development in Nutrition and Food Research in Central and Eastern Europe (CAPNUTRA):

Balkan Food Platform - Regional Food Composition Data Base development

Web based Food Comp Data Management (FCDM) software development of BalkanFood Platform

Regional Food Composition Data Base, update with recipes

21-23 January 2013, Belgrade, Serbia


The European Food Information Resource Network (EuroFIR) was a five-year ‘Network of Excellence’ funded by the European Commission through the EU Sixth Framework Programme and was launched in 2005.

The mission of EuroFIR was to harmonize and standardize the food composition databases in Europe.

to present food composition data in a uniform way through electronically available FCDBs

Common standard for the identification and description of foods

The new project name is EuroFIR NEXUS

UNU-SCN -Network for Capacity Development in Nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe-NCDNCEE

There is a need for national/regional FCDB in Balkan region countries

2010 – June - The meeting was organized by UNU/SCN Network for Capacity Development in Nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe (NCDNCEE) with support from Institute for Medical Research, University of Belgrade (IMR ).

2011 – May

2013 - January

FCDB is placed on Internet server.

Data entry and maintenance is from Web based Food Comp Data Management (FCDM) software developed for this purpose (from local computers)

Access to the application (data entry and modification) is given to our regional partners

All partners access all data (view), right for data entry and modification only for data for own country


Serbian FCDB DIET ASSESS - nutrient intake questionnaire - nutrition planning (recipes, meals, menus)- calculate the nutritive values- compare with recommendations


• Chance FoodGroup Classification added

• EFSA coding system is added

• Portion Size definition added (Small, Medium, Large)
