**2. Updates and Results of EuroFIR AISBL Activities on Implementation of EuroFIR AISBL's Food Data Banks**

EuroFIR AISBL provides a resource at the European level for compilers and user communities through online tools, e.g., FoodEXplorer, eBASIS, PlantaLIBRA, FoodWaste-EXplorer [1] (https://www.eurofir.org/our-tools/, accessed on 26 October 2022) (Figure 2).

eBASIS, ePlantLIBRA and FoodWasteExplorer are based on data from peer-reviewed literature evaluated critically by experts. National FCDBs, which form part of FoodExplorer, are based mostly on experimental data and follow EuroFIR compilation guidelines. All FCDBs included in FoodEXplorer are based on a quality assessment system. EuroFIR also

set up technical working groups that continue to progress underpinning topics, such as documentation, branded food datasets, recipe calculation, laboratory analysis, and use of FoodCASE for managing food composition data (https://www.eurofir.org/discussiongroups/, accessed on 26 October 2022).

Description of EuroFIR AISBL's Food Data Banks is organized in two subsections: the subsection *EuroFIR's Approaches* gives an overview of: (i) quality management system and standard operating procedures; and (ii) food description and classification systems, while the subsection *EuroFIR AISBL's Food Data Banks: Main features and updates* describes functionalities, updates and use of FoodEXplorer, eBASIS, ePlantLIBRA, and FoodWasteEXplorer.
