The corrected Table 6. Portion size recommendations in grams for Meat, fish & eggs and Pulses in FBDGs, by FAO region and its caption appear below. 1 Latin America and the Caribbean. 2 Standard error of the mean. 3 Values can be either cooked or raw, depending on the FBDGs. Most of the times no precision was provided as to raw or cooked. 4 Eggs: 1 medium egg was considered to weigh 50 g. 5 Pulses: values were considered cooked, except for when "dry" seemed to refer to raw rather than to opposite of fresh pulses (Switzerland), or when the value provided was deemed irrational to be cooked as very low (Estonia). In these cases they were converted to cooked using factor 2.5. Excludes soy products such as tofu, tempeh, etc.A correction has been made to Section 3.4.4. Meat, fish & eggs and Pulses. A sentence previously stated:"The range of recommended PS values was particularly wide in Europe for Meat (from 27.5 g in Portugal to 200 g in Italy) and Fish & shellfish (from 27.5 in Portugal to 200 g in Romania). The highest PS recommendation for Meat was that of the Italian FBDGs, at 200 g. In regard to Fish & shellfish, maximum amounts were given in the Republic of Moldova and Romania (200 g)."The corrected sentence appears below:"The range of recommended PS values was particularly wide in Europe for Meat (from 27.5 g in Portugal to 135 g in Greece) and Fish & shellfish (from 27.5 in Portugal to 200 g in Romania). The highest PS recommendation for Meat was that of the Greek FBDGs, at 135 g. In regard to Fish & shellfish, maximum amounts were given in the Republic of Moldova and Romania (200 g)."A correction has been made to the Discussion. A sentence previously stated: "In Europe for example, the Italian and the Dutch FBDGs extensively mentioned sustainability, however provided recommended PS for Meat of 200 and 100 g, respectively."The corrected sentence appears below: "In Europe for example, the Italian and the Dutch FBDGs extensively mentioned sustainability, however both provided recommended PS for eat of 100 g, which is greater than the global median."In Supplementary table 3. Portion size recommendations in grams for major food groups in FBDGs, by country, the value for Meat (g) in Italy was reported as 200 instead of 100.
