Nutrition information databases?

Nutrition databases for processed food products?

I'm aware of the USDA reference database.

Is there a similar repository (repositories?) of nutrition information for commercial, processed food products? Things like chain restaurant meals, fast food, frozen dinners, chips, etc.

I'm looking for sources of structured data, rather than websites like livestrong and whatnot.

NutritionData has much of the information you need.

CalorieKing.com is my go-to for this. (Stupid wheat allergy.)

I was going to recommend the Self site (NutritionData,) too.

I probably didn't phrase my question well. I'm looking for data sources rather than websites. I don't see any way to export or download the nutrition data on those sites.
