Foods

Foods are uniquely defined sources of dietary exposure to chemical substances. Foods may refer to 1) foods-as-eaten: foods as coded in food consumption data (e.g. pizza); 2) foods-as-measured: foods as coded in concentration data (e.g. wheat); 3) any other type of food (e.g. ingredients, e.g. flour).
