Analytical data were collected for 426 dietetic products from 22 manufacturers. It was noted that manufacturers' data is very variable and it is suggested that standards should be developed for presentation of this data. A relational database was selected and a model created for the data. This was used for teaching dietetic students how to obtain data using Structured Query Language, which allows the selection of a wide range of data without the need to write a special program.
