EuroFIR AISBL is a non-profit international member-based organisation. farmers and those in the blue economy).

EuroFIR's mission is to develop, publish and encourage exploitation of food composition information and promote international cooperation to improve data quality and access. Its purpose is to develop, harmonise and deliver food composition data, and supporting information, underpinning food and health research throughout Europe and beyond. EuroFIR draws together the best available food information from more than 30 EU and international compiler organisations and promotes international cooperation in data standardisation and interoperability to make food data FAIRer. Members and clients include individuals and organisations working in academia, healthcare, and the public sector (especially food science, nutrition and dietetics) as well as SMEs (ICT and software developers). EuroFIR has been involved in numerous EU- and otherwise-funded projects and tenders providing data, tools, and knowhow to support research and innovation in a wide range of food, nutrition, and health topics. EuroFIR also has more than a decade’s experience in communication and dissemination addressing the needs of primary stakeholders (i.e. beneficiaries and funding agencies) as well as secondary stakeholders, such as user communities and, more widely, policymakers, food industry and retailers, and others along the food chain (e.g.

🌍 Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste.

Across the EU, large amounts of food never reach the table. It is lost on farms or wasted along the supply chain, and with it the water, land, energy and labour needed to produce it. 2026 is a turning point: with the revised Waste Framework Directive, binding food waste reduction targets are part of EU law for the first time. The challenge now is delivering them at national level.

This afternoon, Dr Sian Astley, General Secretary of EuroFIR, is at "Tackling food loss and waste: from production to redistribution" at the European Parliament in Brussels. The event is organised by the European Food Forum (EFF) and the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA), and hosted by MEP Benoit Cassart.

The programme includes:
🔹 A keynote by Herman Van Rompuy, President Emeritus of the European Council
🔹 A panel with DG SANTE, DG AGRI, the Permanent Representation of Ireland, FoodDrinkEurope, Euroconsumers, EuroCommerce, Edenred and food bank representatives

As a member of the European Food Forum, EuroFIR supports this dialogue between policymakers, industry, consumers and food banks. Reliable food data is a shared foundation for a food system where less is lost, less is wasted, and more reaches the people who need it.

A new version of the Swedish Food Composition Database was released in July 2026 🇸🇪

The update adds newly analysed values for fats, dairy products and eggs, while selected fruits and vegetables have been given borrowed values from the Norwegian and Danish databases. As a result, many calculated foods have also been revised to reflect the new analysed and borrowed values. The updated dataset is available through FoodEXplorer.

EuroFIR AISBL is presenting the new EU-funded NUTRIMIND today at the BEETHOVEN kick-off meeting in Vienna, Austria.

NUTRIMIND aims to explore how nutrition, dietary choices, the gut microbiome and lifestyle factors interact with mental health across the life course. Its goal is to improve understanding of these interactions by combining existing data from large-scale cohort analyses, dietary and biomarker data, microbiome and multi-omics approaches, AI-supported modelling and citizen science tools.

We thank BEETHOVEN consortium for the invitation and we look forward to collaborating together to advance knowledge on mental health and nutrition!

Yesterday EuroFIR was at the European Parliament attending European Food Forum Annual General Assembly where we heard an overview of the association's activities and events in 2025, as well as its plans for the remainder of 2026. Hana Musinovic also had the great pleasure of meeting with EFF Director General Luisella Ciani. We sincerely congratulate the entire EFF team for their tremendous engagement and for fostering an open dialogue among all stakeholders on food-related matters. 👏

The afternoon continued with the event "Navigating the PPWR: Clarity and Implementation in a Circular Economy'' which focused on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). While the regulation aims to standardize packaging rules, reduce waste, and promote circularity, it still leaves several practical implementation questions unanswered. Both the panelists and the audience expressed particular concern about the food safety risks associated with the reuse of plastic containers in the HORECA sector. ♻️

🚨The Danish Food Composition Database has been released with a redesigned interface!

The update is structured around three distinct user needs:

💡Consumer view — a simple overview of the most requested nutritional data.
💡Labeling view — direct work with nutritional declarations, including percentages of recommended daily intake.
💡Professional view — full access to all available data and associated references.

Several additional improvements have been introduced. The database is based on international standards, including LanguaL, FoodEx2, and FoodOn. The corresponding metadata and technical descriptions are now openly accessible, supporting transparency and usability for researchers, authorities, and industry.

With this release, the name Frida is no longer used. The database continues under the Danish Food Composition Database name.

🆕 EuroFIR AISBL has been awarded a preparatory grant under the EOSC Gravity Preparatory Grants Open Call to prepare for future enrolment as a thematic Node within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Federation.

💡 It will deliver a validated project charter setting out EuroFIR's pathway towards EOSC Node enrolment, including governance, technical readiness, three cross-domain use cases (integrated nutrition–health research; food-system sustainability; interoperable data tools), and a contribution matrix for EOSC Academy activities. The project is implemented in partnership with Premotec GmbH and supported by the EOSC Gravity consortium, coordinated by the Fondation Européenne de la Science (ESF).

The action contributes to the integration of harmonised, FAIR-aligned food composition data into Europe's open science infrastructure, supporting interoperability with health, environmental, agricultural, and sustainability datasets across the EOSC Federation.
