The Foundation Food "Soy milk, sweetened, plain, refrigerated" (FDC ID 2257044) was incorrectly described as unsweetened. The description has been updated to correctly identify this food as sweetened.
The Foundation Food "Flour, barley" (FDC ID 2512376) was previously listed with a measurement of zero for all Beta-glucan values. The food and its samples have been updated with the correct Beta-glucan values.
