NCBI Pathogen Detection integrates bacterial pathogen genomic sequences originating in food, environmental sources, and patients. It quickly clusters and identifies related sequences to uncover potential food contamination sources, helping public health scientists investigate foodborne disease outbreaks.

The COMprehensive Protein Allergen REsource is a new comprehensive repository of protein sequences of known or putative allergens. It was created via the development of an automated “rule-based” sorting algorithm tool, combined with a review of the literature associated with the identified sequences.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a program of studies designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews and physical examinations.

Welcome to the Produce Point of Origin Database (PPOD). PPOD is a searchable database that provides selected commodity-specific information on the movement of produce in the United States, either domestic or international, based on seasonality data. The information is compiled from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Market Reports.

The USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) is the major source of food composition data in the United States. It provides the foundation for most food composition databases in the public and private sectors.

EcoSure, the food safety & quality assurance division of Ecolab, has updated the 1999 Audits International cold temperature database. In addition to an updated data set, the new data help determine whether changes have occurred in cold temperature storage practices of food both in retail establishments and in consumer homes.

Eastern Research Group, under contract with FDA, conducted this study of food product open dates. The information in this study was sought through literature reviews, multiple in-store surveys of food products and discussions with industry personnel and trade organizations. The survey universe consists of 149 product categories covering baked, dairy, frozen, refrigerated, shelf-stable, and chilled ready to eat food products.

The National Food Processors Association (NFPA) conducted this study with the purpose of addressing uncertainties in risk assessment regarding the occurrence of L. Monocytogenes in ready to eat foods.

ComBase describes and predicts quantified microbial responses (growth and survival/inactivation) to different food environments. It can be used by companies to help them develop, produce, and store new food products, and by regulatory officers to aid them in conducting quantitative risk assessments.

The access database contains labeling and catalogue information of approximately 3,000 dietary supplement products sold in the United States. The database includes information such as the product's name, the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, the product's ingredients, and claims about the product. Claims may be about the health benefits or nutrient content of the product or may be nutritional support statements. Thus, the database provides information on the range of products available for sale in the United States, where these products are sold, what they contain, and what claims are being made about these products.

RTI, under contract with FDA, constructed this database on cosmetic ingredients that could potentially be derived from animals. These ingredients are of interest because of the potential for transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs).

Research Triangle Institute (RTI), under contract with FDA, conducted studies to estimate the costs of implementing HACCP in food plants under FDA jurisdiction. The purpose of these studies was to determine the state of current food safety practices in the food processing industry and estimate the costs of moving from the pre-HACCP baseline to regulatory compliance

A survey conducted by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) under contract with FDA. The access database contains 593 records of private laboratories that test food. It includes the variables needed to support the kinds of analyses FDA expects to undertake-such as location and contact information, economic variables, test capabilities, and Quality Assurance Programs. The FTLD allows users to sort laboratories by location such as state or country, query laboratories owned by one parent company, sort laboratories by capabilities, and sort laboratories that use quality assurance guidelines such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, and determine laboratories associated with a certain geographic area or FDA district.

A survey conducted by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) under contract with FDA of 966 dietary supplement establishments. The purpose of this survey was to learn about the current manufacturing practices and what constitutes GMP's in the industry.

What We Eat in America (WWEIA) is the dietary intake interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The previous Director of Center for Food Safety and Security Systems (CFS3), Dr. Robert Buchanan, has been collecting and indexing relevant articles in the area of microbial food safety for the last 25 years. He is making his personal efforts available to the public through FoodRisk.org.

WWEIA-Food Commodity Intake Database (FCID) 2005-10 was developed by U.S. EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) to improve the utility of the WWEIA food consumption survey for pesticide dietary exposure assessment.

Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED) converts the foods and beverages in the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies to the 37 USDA Food Patterns components. The FPED was formerly known as the MyPyramid Equivalents Database.

FNDDS is a database that provides the nutrient values for foods and beverages reported in What We Eat in America, the dietary intake component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

FDA is authorized to detain certain products offered for entry into the United States if they are in violation of FDA laws and regulations. The Import Refusal Report (IRR) is updated monthly and records the product, its supplier and country of origin, and the reason(s) the product was refused entry.

The Global MRL Database contains maximum residue limits (MRLs) for various chemicals in agricultural crops. The free starter subscription gives U.S. users access to U.S. MRLs currently in force and corresponding MRLs for other markets; non-U.S. users will have access to U.S. MRLs only.

CDC WONDER provides easy access to a wide range of public health data published by CDC, as well as reference materials, reports, and guidelines on health-related topics. The data is intended to help users conduct research, make decisions, set priorities, evaluate programs, and allocate resources.

These databases were created by Audits International, an independent food research organization, with support from the US Food and Drug Administration.

CaliciNet is a national norovirus outbreak surveillance network. Its database is used by public health laboratories to submit genetic sequences of norovirus strains associated with gastroenteritis outbreaks, and epidemiological data from outbreaks. The norovirus strains can be compared with other strains in the database, helping CDC link outbreaks to a common source, monitor circulating norovirus strains, and identify newly emerging norovirus strains.

The USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) database contains national data on pesticide residue findings (including both positive detections and non-detects) in food and water, with an emphasis on commodities most likely to be consumed by infants and children. The data is primarily used by EPA in dietary exposure assessments.

The Branded Food Products Database enhances the USDA National Nutrient Database with nutrient composition and ingredient information on branded foods and private label data voluntarily provided by the food industry. The addition of private data allows for a better assessment of the food system. Users can search the database by food item, food group, or manufacturer’s name to find nutrient information for food items of interest. They can also generate lists of foods sorted by nutrient content.
