Special Considerations
The nutrient data package (IDA Publications Ltd, 7 Rennie Court, 20 Stamford Street, London SE1 9LP) used to estimate folate intakes could not be found, therefore an updated nutrient database is required. The food list may also need to be updated due to reformulation of foods in the UK since 2002.
