The Icelandic Food Composition Database, ISGEM, is used in Iceland as an information resource. The database is used for nutrition surveys, nutrition counselling, education and in the food industry. ISGEM contains nutrient data on 1400 foods. Most of the information on ISGEM at the Matis website is in Icelandic. However, it is possible to search the ISGEM Database using English food names. It is relatively easy to understand the Icelandic names for nutrients.
