Accessibility

Food and cosmetic information should be easily accessible to anyone, regardless of their location, language or disability. Open Food Facts turns paper packaging into accessible data that can be leveraged by accessibility tools.
We need to make sure that Open Food Facts is itself accessible, and we need to partner with organisations which can bring the benefits of open food and cosmetic data to all people who need it.
