Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals
CSFII. A nationwide survey conducted by the US Department of Agriculture that collects information about the kinds and amounts of foods Americans eat. The information is used to study the nation's food supply, including learning whether the foods available to consumers contain enough of the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy diet, finding out how much the foods provided by food assistance programs (such as Food Stamps) contribute to a person's nutrition needs, and calculating the amount of a pesticide that can be used on a crop while providing a safe food product. In 2002, CSFII was incorporated into the ongoing National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
