    Description

      We need to include information regarding the nutrients of a BiologicallyDerivedProduct.

      Example: Ingredients of breast milk: 

      Energy (kJ) 280
      Energy (kcal) 67
      Protein (g) 1.3
      Fat (g) 4.2
      Carbohydrate (g) 7
      Sodium (mg) 15
      Calcium (mg) 35
      Phosphorus (mg) 15
      Iron (mcg) 76
      Vitamin A (mcg) 60
      Vitamin C (mg) 3.8
      Vitamin D (mcg) 0.01

      Our suggestion/proposal is to add an element (e.g., named as “nutricionFact”) in BiologicallyDerivedProduct with code+value pair consisting of the CodeableConcept (1..1) (nutrient) and value[x] (1..1). This suggestion is similar to the one proposed on https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32278
