Defining 'low in fat' and 'high in fat' when applied to a food.

Objectives: To describe four different methods of identifying indicator foods that are high, medium or low in fat with reference to dietary patterns and to use these indicator foods to test three sets of definitions of 'high', 'medium' and 'low' in fat from 'banding schemes' developed by the Coronary Prevention Group (CPG), the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Sainsbury's.

Methods: Indicator foods were developed using food intake data from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey and two parameters: (i) probability of the food being consumed by an individual with a high-fat diet (Method 1); and (ii) the contribution of the food to the fat intake of the average diet of consumers (Methods 3 and 4). Method 2 used both parameters.
