Key Facts about Open Food Facts

Čvrsto vjerujemo da je znanje o tome što jedemo od javnog interesa i da bi trebalo biti slobodno dostupno svima. Osnovana 2012. godine, Open Food Facts je neprofitna organizacija koja stoji iza najveće otvorene baze podataka o prehrambenim proizvodima na svijetu.

Kao referentna baza podataka, vrlo smo ponosni što smo pomogli u stvaranju preko 200 projekata, aplikacija i web stranica u prehrambenom sektoru. Ponovnom upotrebom naše baze podataka, ovi projekti je čine dostupnom sve većem broju ljudi diljem svijeta, čime doprinose većoj transparentnosti hrane.

Open Food Facts is a food information database unique in the world:

  • collaborative : comparable to Wikipedia, it has 60,000 contributors
  • međunarodno i bez ograničenja veličine i proizvoda: rođen u Francuskoj, sada sadrži oko 4.000.000 proizvoda u više od 180 zemalja - 30+ zemalja ima više od 10.000 proizvoda, 8 više od 100.000
  • freely reusable (open data): dozens of companies, researchers, innovators freely reuse the data for their own use
  • strictly independent of agribusiness, it is run by an association under French law, law of 1901.

With 3.000,000 users/month, Open Food Facts has already become, in 11 years only, the reference for food information in several countries. It supports research and public policies aimed at a healthier diet.

The 5 major success stories of Open Food Facts?

Promoting nutritional quality indicators

For 3 years, Open Food Facts has been supporting the roll out of Nutri-Score in 5 European countries. In France, Open Food Facts has been displaying the Nutri-Score since 2015, before its officialization. In Spain and Belgium, Open Food Facts also precedes the adoption of Nutri-Score by these countries. Open Food Facts also helped bring ultra-processing in the limelight by computing the NOVA classification, and made ecological labelling a reality by computing the Eco-Score at scale.

Creating and maintaining an ecosystem of uses and research

Since its creation, Open Food Facts has developed a real ecosystem of reuse of its data. Since the Open Food Facts data is freely reusable, several information sites, start-ups, research laboratories, teachers, etc., have started their activity and / or use the Open Food Facts data daily: Yuka, Foodvisor, Scaneat, Ya Quoi Dedans (What’s inside) (Super U), Buy Or Not, nopalm.org, My Nutritional Info…
