Component Description

The NHANES program suspended field operations in March 2020 due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, data collection for the NHANES 2019-2020 cycle was not completed and the collected data are not nationally representative. Therefore, data collected from 2019 to March 2020 were combined with data from the NHANES 2017-2018 cycle to form a nationally representative sample of NHANES 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic data. These data are available to the public. Please refer to the Analytic Notes section for more details on the use of the data. 

The objective of the dietary interview component is to obtain detailed dietary intake information from NHANES participants. The dietary intake data are used to estimate the types and amounts of foods and beverages (including all types of water) consumed during the 24-hour period prior to the interview (midnight to midnight), and to estimate intakes of energy, nutrients, and other food components from those foods and beverages. Following the dietary recall, participants are asked questions on salt use, whether the person’s overall intake on the previous day was much more than usual, usual or much less than usual, and whether the participant is on any type of special diet. Questions on frequency of fish and shellfish consumed during the past 30 days are asked of participants 1 year or older, with the use of proxies for young children (see the Dietary Interview Procedure Manuals (cdc.gov) for more information on the proxy interview). 

The dietary interview component, called What We Eat in America (WWEIA), is conducted as a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Under this partnership, DHHS' National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys is responsible for the survey sample design and all aspects of data collection and USDA’s Food Surveys Research Group (FSRG) is responsible for the dietary data collection methodology, maintenance of the databases used to code and process the data, and data review and processing.

All NHANES participants are eligible for two 24-hour dietary recall interviews. The first dietary recall interview is collected in-person in the Mobile Examination Center (MEC) and the second interview is collected by telephone 3 to 10 days later. 

As in previous years, two types of dietary intake data are available for the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic survey cycle: Individual Foods files and Total Nutrient Intakes files.

What's New with the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic WWEIA Release: 

New variables for dietary weights are included in the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic WWEIA release: WTDRD1PP and WTDR2DPP. Appendix 1 provides a summary of changes among the 5 latest cycles of data collection.  

Dietary Interview Data Files: Four data files were produced from the information collected in the dietary interviews: two Individual Foods files and two Total Nutrient Intakes files. Each file includes one day of intake data. The number “1” or “2” in the file name identifies the day (and mode) of the interview: 1 = first day (in-person), 2 = second day (phone). File names are as follows:

File Names for Dietary Interview Data:
File Day 1 Day 2
Individual Foods File P_DR1IFF P_DR2IFF
Total Nutrient Intakes File P_DR1TOT P_DR2TOT

The amounts in these files reflect only nutrients obtained from foods, beverages, and water, including tap and bottled water. They do not include nutrients obtained from dietary supplement intakes, antacids, or medications. Data on intake of dietary supplement use are available on the NHANES 2017-March 2020 Pre-Pandemic Dietary Data (cdc.gov) page.

Individual Foods Files (P_DR1IFF and P_DR2IFF): Detailed information about each food/beverage item (including the description, amount of, and nutrient content) reported by each participant is included in the Individual Foods files. The names for both Day 1 and Day 2 variables are listed in Appendix 2.

The Individual Foods files include, for each interview day, one record for each food/beverage consumed by a participant. Each record is uniquely numbered within a participant’s set of records and contains the information listed below:

Descriptions for the USDA FNDDS food codes are provided in the Food Code Description file (P_DRXFCD). The P_DRXFCD file includes abbreviated descriptions (up to 60 characters) and complete descriptions (up to 200 characters) associated with each USDA food code in both the FNDDS 2017-2018 and FNDDS 2019-2020. If the short or long description changed between the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 FNDDS versions, both the current (DRXFCSD and DRXFCLD) and former descriptions (DRXFFCSD and DRXFFDLD) were included. Both the description and nutrient calculations may differ between the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 FNDDS versions. The FNDDS 2019-2020 Documentation provides insight into the changes made to both food code descriptions and nutrient profiles for foods and beverages reported by participants beginning in 2019. Appendix 4 provides SAS code examples that may be used to link the food code description to the Individual Foods file.

Total Nutrient Intakes Files (P_DR1TOT and P_DR2TOT): For each participant, daily total energy and nutrient intakes from foods and beverages, and whether the amount of food consumed was usual, much more than usual, or much less than usual, are included in the Total Nutrient Intakes files. The Day 1 file also includes information on salt use in cooking and at the table; whether the participant is currently on any kind of diet to lose weight or for another health-related reason and, if so, the type of diet; and information on frequency of fish and shellfish consumption for participants aged 1 or older. The names for both Day 1 and Day 2 variables are listed in Appendix 5.

The Total Nutrient Intakes files provide a summary record of total nutrient intakes for each participant. Each total intake record contains the following information:

Eligible Sample

All participants in the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample were eligible. However, only participants aged 1 year or older were eligible for the frequency of fish and shellfish consumption questions following the 24-hour recall.

Protocol and Procedure

The examination protocol and data collection methods are fully documented in the NHANES 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 dietary interviewer procedures manuals (in-person interview and phone follow-up interview).

Interviews were conducted with a proxy for participants less than six years of age (who was generally the person most knowledgeable about the participant’s intake). Interviews of children aged 6 to 8 were conducted with a proxy and the child was present to assist in reporting intake information. Interviews of children aged 9-11, were conducted with the child and the assistance of a proxy familiar with the child’s intake. Participants 12 years or older answered for themselves. Dietary interviewers conducted in-person interviews in English and Spanish. 

Translators were used to conduct interviews in other languages.

The in-person interview was conducted in a private room in the NHANES MEC. A set of measuring guides (various glasses, bowls, mugs, bottles, household spoons, measuring cups and spoons, a ruler, thickness sticks, bean bags, and circles) was available in the MEC dietary interview room for the participant to use for reporting amounts of foods (NHANES Measuring Guides for the Dietary Recall Interview). Upon completion of the in-person interview, participants were given measuring cups, spoons, a ruler, and a food model booklet, which contained two-dimensional drawings of the various measuring guides available in the MEC, to use for reporting food amounts during the telephone interview. Telephone dietary interviews were collected 3 to 10 days following the MEC dietary interview and were generally scheduled on a different day of the week as the MEC interview. Only a small number of participants (n=99) were interviewed on the same day of the week for both day 1 and day 2 interviews due to their scheduling availability. Any participant who did not have a telephone was given a toll-free number to call so that the recall could be conducted.

What We Eat in America data were collected using USDA's dietary data collection instrument, the Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM), available at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg. The AMPM was designed to provide an efficient and accurate means of collecting intakes for large-scale national surveys. The AMPM is a fully computerized recall method that uses a 5-step interview outlined below:

  1. Quick List - Participant recalls all foods and beverages consumed the day before the interview (midnight to midnight).
  2. Forgotten Foods - Participant is asked about consumption of foods commonly forgotten during the Quick List step.
  3. Time and Occasion - Time and eating occasion are collected for each food.
  4. Detail Cycle - For each food, a detailed description, amount eaten, and additions to the food are collected. Eating occasions and times between eating occasions are reviewed to elicit forgotten foods.
  5. Final Probe - Additional foods not remembered earlier are collected.

The AMPM includes an extensive compilation of standardized food-specific questions and possible response options. Routing of questions is based on previous responses. The AMPM is updated for each 2-year collection of WWEIA to reflect the changing food supply and to address research needs from the data user community. Additional information about the AMPM is provided in Raper et. al., 2004.

The AMPM was validated in a large study and shown to be an effective method for collecting accurate group energy intake of adults. Completed in 2004, this extensive research project included 524 healthy, weight-stable volunteers, aged 30-69 years. The accuracy of the AMPM was evaluated by comparing reported energy intake (EI) to total energy expenditure (TEE) using the doubly labeled water technique (Moshfegh et al., 2008). Among the findings were that EI compared to TEE was under-reported by 11% overall, by less than 3% for normal weight subjects with body mass index (BMI) < 25 and 16% for overweight subjects with BMI ≥25. 

Additional studies provide evidence that the AMPM accurately measures group energy intake. Blanton (Blanton et al., 2006) reported that EI was not significantly different from TEE for a sample of 20 adult females. Rumpler et. al., 2008, and colleagues found that mean EIs were accurately reported for a sample of 12 adult males.

Additional evidence for the accuracy of AMPM has been provided by analysis of the 24-hour urinary sodium data collected in the AMPM Validation Study, which suggest the AMPM is a valid measure for estimating mean sodium intake in adults. Dietary sodium intake calculated from 24-hour recall data of 465 subjects collected via AMPM was compared with sodium values from 24-hour urine collections measured during the same 24-hour period. The AMPM-derived mean dietary sodium estimates reflected over 90% of the biomarker-based estimates  (Rhodes et al., 2013).

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

All dietary interviewers were required to complete an intensive one-week training course and to conduct supervised practice interviews before working independently in the field. Retraining sessions were conducted annually to reinforce the proper protocols and technique.

Interviewers were monitored throughout the data collection period. Monitoring consisted of the following:

Data Processing and Editing

Interview data files were sent electronically from the field and were imported into Survey Net, a computer-assisted food coding and data management system developed by USDA (Raper et al., 2004).

USDA's Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2017-2018 and FNDDS 2019-2020 were used to process the intakes reported by the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample (Agricultural Research Service, 2017-2018). Intakes were processed separately using FNDDS 2019-2020 for foods/beverages reported by participants in 2019-March 2020 and then merged with data from NHANES 2017-2018. The FNDDS includes comprehensive information that can be used to code individual foods/beverages and portion sizes reported by participants and includes nutrient values for calculating nutrient intakes. FNDDS nutrient values as well as food codes and portion sizes are updated for every 2-year WWEIA, NHANES release cycle. The basis for the nutrient values as well as food codes and portion weights in FNDDS are detailed in the documentation for FNDDS 2017-2018 and FNDDS 2019-2020 available at http://www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg.  FNDDS 2019-2020 includes extensive updates.

Coders were required to pass a certification test after the initial training. They were routinely monitored to ensure the quality and completeness of their work. Approximately 10 percent of the coder's work was randomly selected to be independently coded by another coder. Results from the two codings were compared and adjudicated, if necessary.

After intake data were coded, various types of reviews and quality assurance procedures were conducted by FSRG scientists to ensure the quality of the data. Examples of reviews include the following:

Analytic Notes

The COVID-19 pandemic required suspension of NHANES 2019-2020 field operations in March 2020 after data were collected in 18 of the 30 survey locations in the 2019-2020 sample. Data collection was cancelled for the remaining 12 locations. Because the collected data from 18 locations were not nationally representative, these data were combined with data from the previous cycle (2017-2018) to create a 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic data file. A special weighting process was applied to the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic data file. The resulting dietary weights should be used to calculate estimates from the combined cycles. These dietary weights are not appropriate for independent analyses of the 2019-2020 data and will not yield nationally representative results for either the 2017-2018 data alone or the 2019-March 2020 data alone. Please refer to the NHANES website for additional information for the NHANES 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic data, and for the previous 2017-2018 public use data file with specific weights for that 2-year cycle.

Each Individual Foods file (Day 1 and Day 2) is comprised of food records. For most participants, there are multiple records in each file. For each Total Nutrient Intakes file (Day 1 and Day 2) there is one record for each participant. These files can be linked with other NHANES files by the respondent sequence number (SEQN).

Variable names: For data collected on both Day 1 and Day 2, variable names are differentiated by having the number "1" or "2" in the third position of the variable name to identify the collection day. For example, the USDA food code variable (in the Individual Foods File), which identifies the food reported by the participant, is named DR1IFDCD in the Day 1 file and DR2IFDCD in the Day 2 file. Appendices 2 and 5 list the Day 1 and Day 2 variable names for the Individual Foods file and the Total Nutrient Intakes file, respectively.

Names for the following variables are the same for both days in the Individual Foods file and the Total Nutrient Intakes file:

Variables with the Same Name for Both Days in the Dietary Interview Files
Day 1 and Day 2 variable name Label
SEQN Respondent sequence number
WTDRD1PP Dietary day one sample weight
WTDR2DPP Dietary two-day sample weight
DRABF Breast-fed infant (either day)
DRDINT Number of days of intake

Number of days of intake: A variable has been included to indicate the number of days of intake collected from each participant. The variable name is DRDINT. In the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample, 12,634 participants provided complete dietary intakes for Day 1. Of those providing the Day 1 data, 10,830 provided complete dietary intakes for Day 2.

Dietary recall status code: A status code (DR1DRSTZ or DR2DRSTZ) is used in both the Individual Foods and Total Nutrient Intakes files to indicate the quality and completeness of a survey participant's response to the dietary recall section. The codes are the following:

1 = Reliable and met the following minimum criteria:

For individuals with a code 1, all relevant variables associated with the 24-hour dietary recall contain a value.

2 = Not reliable or did not meet the minimum criteria

Individuals with a code 2 have incomplete records. No data on total nutrient intakes and the total number of foods reported are provided for these cases. These individuals have no records in the Individual Foods files.

3     [Code 3 is not included in the current datasets. It was only used for data from the 1999-2000 survey cycle.]

4 = Reported consuming breast milk

For infants and children who consumed human milk, there is a record in the Individual Foods files for each report of human milk. However, because amounts of human milk intake are not quantified, these records contain missing values for the amount consumed and for the amounts of energy and nutrients from human milk. Also, records of human milk have a missing value for the food source variable (DR1FS, DR2FS) and the eaten at home variable (DR1_040Z, DR2_040Z) in the Individual Foods files. Records for any other foods and beverages consumed by breast-fed infants and children are included in the Individual Foods files along with their amounts and nutrient information. Because of the missing amount or quantity information for human milk, no total nutrient intakes (contained in the Total Nutrient Intakes files) were computed for participants with a code 4.

A variable that identifies breast-fed children, DRABF, is included. This variable has a code of 1 if a child consumed human milk in either intake day.

5 = Not done

This code is assigned when the dietary recall section of the interview did not take place due to various reasons (such as arrived late/left early, refusal, illness, emergency, or equipment failure). These individuals have no records in the Individual Foods files. These individuals have a record in the Total Nutrients file with values only for the following variables: the respondent sequence number (SEQN), the dietary recall status code (DR1DRSTZ or DR2DRSTZ) and for participants 1 year or older, the fish and shellfish questions in the P_DR1TOT file (DRD340, DRD350A-K, DRD350AQ-JQ, DRD360, DRD370A-V, and DRD370AQ-UQ).

Only codes 1 and 4 appear in the Individual Foods file.

Distinguishing Between Foods/Beverages and Dietary Supplements in NHANES

The 24-hour dietary supplement use component is administered after the 24-hour dietary recall. All NHANES participants responding to the 24-hour dietary recall interview are eligible for the dietary supplement and non-prescription antacid use questions. Information is obtained on all vitamins, minerals, herbals, and other dietary supplements as well as non-prescription antacids that were consumed during a 24-hour time period (midnight to midnight), including the name and the amount of supplement or antacid taken.

Distinguishing between foods/beverages and supplements can be challenging. NCHS and FSRG review questionable items reported in the dietary supplement and dietary recall components to resolve disposition of these items into the appropriate component. Products that are labeled as a dietary supplement, that have a supplement facts panel on the label, and are in tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, or other pill forms, are considered dietary supplements. Items that are powders or liquids can be hard to distinguish. General guidelines used state that if powders and liquid concentrates have product directions stating that they be added to a liquid, they are classified as beverages. Examples are teas and protein powders. An exception is made for fiber products, which are classified as dietary supplements. Along this same guideline, energy drinks are considered beverages, but “energy shot” type products are considered dietary supplements.

It is best to refer to the three databases that detail every food/beverage and dietary supplement reported in NHANES to identify exact determination used. The databases are:

Participants who reported consuming only water, no food or other beverages: Records are included in the Individual Foods file for participants who consumed only water. There are 5 such individuals in the 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic datasets, one in the Day 1 data and 4 in the Day 2 data. 

Their dietary recall status variable for the day is coded as "1" (complete and reliable) in the Total Nutrients file and the total number of items is the number of times water was reported. Individuals with just water intake and no food intake will have zero energy intake for the day. 

Participants who reported consuming no water, food or other beverages: There can be participants whose intakes are determined to be complete even though they reported no water, food, or other beverage records for the day. For such participants there are no records in the Individual Foods file, but their dietary recall status is coded as complete and reliable, and the Total Nutrients file will include records with zero values for all nutrients. In the 2017- March 2020 pre-pandemic datasets, there are 2 individuals in the day 1 data that reported no water, food, or other beverage records for the day.

Number of days between the intake day and the day of family interview: Each of the four intake files includes a variable (DR1DBIH for Day 1 files and DR2DBIH for Day 2 files) to indicate the number of days between the intake day (i.e., the period covered by the 24-hour recall) and the day that the family questionnaire was administered in the household. A positive value in DR1BHIH or DR2BHIH indicates the family interview occurred prior to the intake day. In the survey, most of the family interviews were done before the participant came to the MEC and participated in the dietary interview. A value of "0" in DR1BHIH or DR2BHIH indicates the family interview occurred on the same date as the intake day. A negative value (i.e., DR1BHIH<0 or DR2BHIH<0) means that the family interview occurred after the intake day.

Food source: The source from which each food/beverage was obtained (e.g., from a store, fast food restaurant, cafeteria) is identified by the variables DR1FS (day 1) and DR2FS (day 2) in the Individual Foods files.

The code descriptions for this variable are:

91 Other

Eating occasion was designated by the respondent. During the interview, a list of eating occasion names was available to the respondent for selection. However, eating occasion names were not defined for the respondent.

Foods and beverages coded as part of a combination: 42 percent of foods and beverages reported in the WWEIA, NHANES 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample were identified as items consumed together as combinations. Items consumed as a combination were identified by one of fifteen unique "combination food types." Foods and beverages not coded in combination have the code "0" for the combination food type variable. 

The combination types provide a linkage for:

Combination Type, Code, Examples, and Percent of Food and Beverages Reported by Type, 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample, Day 1
Combination Type Code Examples of Combination Type % Items
Not in combination 0 NA 58

All items given a combination food type are given an additional variable to identify each of the items within the combination. This variable is the "combination food number" that is unique to the combination food type within the individual intake.

Variable Labels and Names for Combination Coding

Combination food type DR1CCMTX DR2CCMTX
Combination food number DR1CCMNM DR2CCMNM

Special diet: Information on whether the participant is currently on any kind of diet to lose weight or for other health-related reason and, if so, the type of diet, was provided. The variable DRQSDIET identifies whether a participant was on a special diet. The variables DRQSDT1 through DRQSDT12 and DRQSDT91 identify the type of diet or diets that the participant was following. These variables can be found in the Total Nutrient Intakes file.

Sample weights for dietary intake data: The dietary weights are appropriate and should be used for NHANES 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic dietary data analyses. The NHANES participants were selected on the basis of a national probability design. In order to increase the number of participants for specific demographic groups, a multi-stage, unequal probability of selection design was implemented. 

Sample weights are constructed that encompass the unequal probabilities of selection, as well as adjustments for non-participation by selected sample persons. In order to produce national, representative estimates, the appropriate sample weights must be used.

For the NHANES 2017-March 2020 pre-pandemic sample, there were 27,066 persons selected; of these 14,300 were considered participants to the MEC examination and data collection. A total of 12,634 MEC participants provided complete dietary intakes for Day 1, and of those providing the Day 1 data, 10,830 provided complete dietary intakes for Day 2.

Most analyses of NHANES data use data collected in the MEC and the variable WTMECPRP should be used for the sample weights. However, for the WWEIA dietary data, different sample weights are recommended for analysis. Although attempts are made to schedule MEC exams uniformly throughout the week, proportionally more exams occur on weekend days than on weekdays. Because food intake can vary by weekdays and weekends, use of the MEC weights disproportionately represents intakes on weekends.

A set of weights (WTDRD1PP) is provided that should be used when an analysis uses the Day 1 dietary recall data (either alone or when Day 1 nutrient data are used in conjunction with MEC data). The set of weights (WTDRD1PP) is applicable to the 12,634 participants with Day 1 data. Day 1 weights were constructed by taking the MEC sample weights (WTMECPRP) and further adjusting for: (a) the additional non-response; and (b) the differential allocation by weekdays (Monday through Thursday), Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for the dietary intake data collection. These Day 1 weights are more variable than the MEC weights, and the sample size is smaller, so estimated standard errors using Day 1 data and Day 1 weights might be larger than standard errors for similar estimates based on MEC weights.

When analysis is based on both days of dietary intake, only 10,830 sample participants have complete data. The NHANES protocol requires an attempt to collect the second day of dietary data at least 3 days after the first day, but the actual number of days between the two interviews is variable. A set of adjusted weights, WTDR2DPP, is to be used when an analysis uses the smaller sample with completed Day 1 and Day 2 dietary data. This two-day weight was constructed for the 10,830 participants by taking the Day 1 weights (WTDRD1PP) and further adjusting for: (a) the additional non-response for the second recall; and (b) for the proportion of weekend (Friday through Sunday) and weekday (Monday through Thursday) combinations of Day 1 and Day 2 recalls.

NOTE: All sample weights are person-level weights and each set of dietary weights should sum to the same overall population control total as the MEC weights (WTMECPRP). In addition, the MEC weights (WTMECPRP) are appropriate for use in the analysis of the fish and shellfish consumption data (i.e., variables DRD340, DRD350A-K, DRD350AQ-JQ DRD360, DRD370A-V, and DRD370AQ-UQ) located in the Day 1 Total Nutrient Intake File (P_DR1TOT), if no other dietary data are included in the analysis. Additional explanation of sample weights and appropriate uses are included in the NHANES Analytic Guidelines. Please also refer to the on-line NHANES Tutorial for further details on other analytic issues.

Appendix 4. Adding Food Code Descriptions to Your Files

One supporting file is included with the Individual Foods files: the Food Code Description file (P_DRXFCD).

The P_DRXFCD file includes abbreviated descriptions (up to 60 characters) and complete descriptions (up to 200 characters) associated with each USDA food code included in the Individual Foods files. The P_DRXFCD contains food codes from both the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 FNDDS. If the description was changed between the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 FNDDS, both the current (DRXFCSD and DRXFCLD) and former (DRXFFCSD and DRXFFDLD) descriptions were included. 

The Food Code Description file (P_DRXFCD) contains five variables:

DRXFDCD a numeric value corresponding to DR1IFDCD in the file P_DR1IFF or DR2IFDCD in the file P_DR2IFF;

DRXFCSD a short description (up to 60 characters) of the food code;

DRXFCLD a long description (up to 200 characters) of the food code;

DRXFFCSD the former short description (up to 60 characters) of the food code;

DRXFFDLD the former long description (up to 200 characters) of the food code.

The following SQL code is an example of appending the shorter food code description (here renamed DR1IFCSD) to one of the Individual Foods files using PROC SQL from SAS®. Other SQL implementations may be different.

proc sql; 
   create table P_DR1IFF_PLUS as 
   select iff.*, desc.DRXFCSD as DR1FCSD, desc.DRXFCLD as DR1FCLD,                      desc.DRXFFCSD as DR1FFCSD, desc.DRXFFDLD as DR1FFDLD 
   from NHANES.P_DR1IFF iff 
   left join NHANES.P_DRXFCD desc 
   on iff.DR1IFDCD = desc.DRXFDCD 
   order by SEQN, DR1ILINE; 
quit;

SAS® users may wish to use Proc Format to assign labels to the food codes. The following example generates and saves a picture format for food codes and a separate format for each food code that includes both the food code itself and the short food code description. It is assumed that the user has stored the Individual Foods files and the Food Code Description file in a library called NHANES and wishes to store the formats there as well.

options fmtsearch = (NHANES);

proc format library = library;
   picture foodcode
   low - high = '000-00000';
quit;

data tmp;
   set NHANES.P_DRXFCD;
   length cfoodcode $9 label $72;
   cfoodcode = put(DRXFDCD, foodcode.);
   label = cfoodcode || '  ' || DRXFCSD;
run;

data fmt (keep = fmtname start label);
   set tmp;
   retain fmtname 'DRXFDCD';
   rename DRXFDCD = start;
run;

proc format cntlin = fmt library = library;
run;
