^a(Concentration in Food/1000) *Daily Food Consumption = Daily Intake.
^bWeighted average of all available mean concentrations in foods corresponding to one of the eight food categories. Calculated by taking the sum of each average concentration multiplied by individual number of samples and diving by total number of samples: $((avg . conc . dairy 1 * n) + (avg . conc . dairy 2 * n) \dots) / \sum n$ .
