Note: Shaded modelling groups were not included in the final validation exercise because they were not included in the final CFG dietary pattern, with the exception of shellfish. In CFG dietary pattern modelling, fresh and processed fish and shellfish were modelled together, owing to the nature of the database available at the time.
