a

Infants 1–11 months of age.

b

A 48‐h dietary recall comprising two consecutive days.

c

Four children from the VELS study (one aged 1–< 3 and three aged 3–< 10 years) and one adult from the Latvian study were not considered in the assessment as only one 24‐h dietary recall day was available.

d

5th or 95th percentile intakes calculated from fewer than 60 subjects require cautious interpretation as the results may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011b) and, therefore, for these dietary surveys/age classes, the 5th and 95th percentile estimates are not presented in the intake results.

e

The Swedish dietary records were introduced through the Internet.
