The nutrition tables have been thoroughly revised for the 7th edition and contain the latest data on food constituents. The English-language tables (with German and French translations) were designed to meet the needs of dieticians and nutrition counsellors, but they provide quick, exhaustive information about the food composition for everyone involved in the production, marketing and monitoring of foods.

Newly included foods:

* Cereals: spelt (whole grain) and spelt flour (German type 630)
* Fish: gilthead seabream and escolar
* Meat: a total of 9 cuts of lamb (knuckle, loin, lamb chop, top round, silverside, shoulder, rump, neck, breast) and loin of goat.

New constituents:
The glucosinolates are now included in the group of bioactive substances, and several fatty acids have been added.

The following tables have been revised and updated:

* Cereals: new amino acid data from several grains and grain products and additional data on carbohydrates (starch, glucose, saccharose, maltose, fructose, raffinose)
* Fish: updated figures for iodine, vitamin K and the purines
* Vegetables: additional data on several fatty acids
* Meat: updated information on major constituents of numerous sausage products and cuts of veal as well as cholesterol values for veal
* Milk and milk products: revised amino acid and fatty acid data as well as vitamin K values for common consumer milk varieties; comprehensively updated and supplemented cholesterol and orotic acid values for all products in this food group

In the introduction the history and structure of the SFK tables are set down and the origin and evaluation of the data explained.
