Abstract
Currently, there are limited data available on the dietary habits of pre-school children in Ireland. The National Pre-school Nutrition Survey (NPNS) was therefore carried out to establish a database of habitual food and beverage consumption in a representative sample of preschool children in the Republic of Ireland. A 4-day weighed food diary was used to collect dietary intake data from 500 pre-school children aged 1‐4 years. Analysis of dietary intake data was carried out using WISP g , which is based on McCance and Widdowson’s The Composition of Foods 6 th edition (1) and the Irish food composition database (2) . DF intake and sources of DF in the diets of pre-school children are reported.
