A food or supplement that is consumed by patients.

A code that specifies the product or a textual description if no code is available. This could be such codes as a USDA Branded Food Products Database number, a USDA Food Data Central (FDC) ID number, Universal Product Code (UPC), a Langual code, or a country specific food database code.

The current state of the product.

Unknown does not represent "other" - one of the defined statuses must apply. Unknown is used when the authoring system is not sure what the current status is.

Nutrition products fall into various categories based on their composition (e.g., Fruit and Grain, Vegetables) or form (e.g., Beverages).

The organisation (manufacturer, representative or legal authorization holder) or person that is responsible for nutrition product.

The product's nutritional information expressed by the nutrients.

Allows identification of the product as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers.

Note: This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

The (relevant) nutrients in the product.

The amount of nutrient expressed in one or more units, either X per pack / per serving / per dose or X amount.

Quantity is allowed to specify a specific amount of a nutrient, eg. 100mg or 100 mg/serving. Ratio is to say 100mg / 5mL and you don't want to normalize the ratio. Quantity also allows for indicating trace amounts of nutrients.

The textual description of the ingredients in the product. For example, the following is a concatenated list of the ingredients for a peanut butter would read 'ROASTED PEANUTS, SUGAR, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COTTONSEED, SOYBEAN AND RAPESEED OIL) TO PREVENT SEPARATION, SALT'.

If structured ingredient information is present, the ingredientSummary should be consistent.

Ingredients contained in this product.

The ingredient contained in the product.

The amount of ingredient that is in the product.

Quantity is allowed to specify a specific amount of an ingredient, eg. 100mg or 100 mg/mL. Ratio is to say 100mg / 5mL and you don't want to normalize the ratio. Quantity also allows for indicating trace amounts of ingredients.

A known or suspected allergenic and/or substance that is associated with an intolerance.

The amount of energy present in the product expressed in kilocalories or kilojoules.

Specifies descriptive properties of the nutrition product.

A code specifying which characteristic of the product is being described (for example, colour, shape).

The actual characteristic value corresponding to the type.

The description should be provided as a CodeableConcept, SimpleQuantity or an image. The description can be a string only when these others are not available.

Conveys instance-level information about this product item. One or several physical, countable instances or occurrences of the product.

The amount of items or instances that the resource considers, for instance when referring to 2 identical units together.

The identifier for the physical instance, typically a serial number or manufacturer number.

The name or brand for the specific product.

The identification of the batch or lot of the product.

The time after which the product is no longer expected to be in proper condition, or its use is not advised or not allowed.

The time after which the product is no longer expected to be in proper condition, or its use is not advised or not allowed.

An identifier of the donation, collection, or pooling event from which biological material in this nutrition product was derived.

Necessary to support mandatory requirements for traceability from donor/source to recipient and vice versa, while also satisfying donor anonymity requirements. The element is defined consistently across BiologicallyDerivedProduct, NutritionProduct, and Device. The identifier references an event that links to a single biological entity such as a blood donor, or to multiple biological entities (e.g. when the product is an embryo or a pooled platelet product). A single biologicalSourceEvent identifier may appear on multiple products of many types derived from a single donation event or source extraction. As an example, a single donation event may provide 2 kidneys and a liver for organ transplantation, 2 corneas for eye surgery, heart valves and arterial tissue for cardiovascular surgery, multiple skin grafts, tendons, multiple shaped bone grafts and a large number of bone putty/paste products; and each of them may be assigned to the same biological source event identifier.
