• User:Hangy -
• User:Stephane - backend, site web, apps mobiles avec Phonegap - Perl, JS, MongoDB
• User:Gerrit - speaking and writing both german and english. You can contact me anytime. My focus:
  • I am here to expose and link identical products. They may differ from their name, point-of-sale, packaging, size and even price but are all the same.
  • Also I want to publish lists (e.g. where to get organic in-season apple juice from a local producer and dealer in a glass bottle with a fair salary and price for all involved parties) so anyone can develop their own ethical ranking and do better.

Help convince local producers to share their data

🏭 Food manufacturers and retailers Yes! To enrich the database, we can count on contributors... but also on food manufacturers! Indeed, as they are the source of the data, which often means that they are able to provide good quality data, and in bigger volumes than manual individual contributions.

Open Prices - Access to Information requests (GDPR requests)

As part of Project:Open-Prices, we need price points for products, loads of them.

If you have a fidelity card, you can ask your data, using the GDPR (if you're in a EU country, or using other laws if you're elsewhere). https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/GDPR_request#Germany
