What it does
The British Dietetic Association's Food Facts library provides food and nutrition information sheets. Topics are grouped by life stage, nutrients and health subjects, with a full index for direct lookup.
Use the life-stage groups when a general nutrition article is too broad. Babies and pregnancy, adolescence, adults and older adults have separate routes, while the nutrient index supports a specific term such as iron or folic acid. Portion-size material provides another kind of practical reference.
The sheets are written by dietitians and periodically reviewed. They are educational resources rather than individualized dietary advice. BDA also notes that it does not provide a translation service and cautions that automated translation can change meaning. If you need another language, that access limitation matters before relying on a translated version of a technical food fact sheet.
