  Hello, thank you for the question. I have provided links to a number of databases that should proove useful. The first is a database containing over 12,000 UK food brands with nutritional data. The next is the most comprehensive European food database available. Finally, I included a large European database on the properties of food and some links to U.S. databases that may be helpful. I hope this helps.
