^a Infants 1–11 months of age.

^b A 48‐h dietary recall comprising two consecutive days.

^c Four subjects from the VELS study (one aged between 1 and < 3 years and 3 aged between 3 to < 10 years) and one subject from Latvian study (one adult) were not considered in the assessment due to the fact that 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, 2011a) 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.
