Dear all,
I am pleased to inform you that we have published another guidelines which we hope you will find useful (posted at http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/standards-guidelines/en/):

FAO/INFOODS Guidelines for Converting Units, Denominators and Expressions Version 1.0 (2012)<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/1nutrition/Conversion_Guidelines-V1.0.pdf>
Conversion of food data is done in the areas of nutrition (i.e. food composition and dietary assessment) and food safety (exposure assessment), and when reporting analytical data, including their publication in scientific articles. Food composition data are expressed in a variety of ways, depending on national conventions, practices of various institutions and journals requirements. However, to aggregate or compare data from diverse sources, it is often necessary to convert them.

I would like to sincerely thank all those who contributed and peer reviewed them.

The guidelines are being translated, together with the other guidelines published recently, into French and Spanish and will be published early 2013.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of INFOODS and FAO staff working on food composition for their contribution to INFOODS' work making 2012 a very successful year with a lot of new publications and databases:
