Is there a freely-available downloadable database of nutrition data for foods?

I’m looking to make a weight loss application and am trying to find a database of nutrition data. I am aware of the free database provided by the USDA, but it seems to lack data for restaurants and pre-packaged food you would purchase at a grocery store.

Pl. directly check up in the web site.
