EuroFIR Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif

EuroFIR AISBL is a member-based international non-profit association of food composition data compilers, expert users and stakeholders, based in Belgium.

The primary mission of EuroFIR AISBL is the development, publication and exploitation of food composition data and accompanying information in order to support and underpin research into food quality, food safety, and diet and health in Europe. EuroFIR AISBL provides a key interface between the national food database compiler organisations and their national funders and stakeholders, including a network of laboratories producing the data, with users of food composition data from industry, academia and regulatory affairs. It also promotes and develops appropriate quality assurance and traceability principles, facilitating the implementation of relevant international standards.

EuroFIR AISBL offers a single and unique food information resource to industry, public sector funding bodies and regulators, for technology, know-how, and data access requirements throughout Europe and beyond. Closely linked to nutritionists, dietitians and public health professionals, EuroFIR AISBL can support pan-European nutritional and epidemiological studies. It offers state-of-the-art knowledge about methods of analysis for a diverse range of nutrients and non-nutritive bioactive compounds with putative health benefits, expert knowledge about food databases and innovative data interfaces, and state-of-the-art solutions for various data applications in a broad spectrum of food and health topics.
