Trends in the production of food sources of fat have a global impact on the availability of fat for human consumption. Global data on fat supply obtained from food balance sheets (FBS) as well as individual food intake data contribute to an understanding of the relationship between fat intake patterns and health outcomes. In order to translate food intake data into fatty acids consumed, information from food composition databases is required. Information from food composition databases on the fatty acid composition of foods also helps monitor changes and trends.
