Open Food Facts covers [https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/master/taxonomies/labels.txt thousands of labels]. This page is the beginning of a documentation related to these labels. '''If you have knowledge about a label, don't hesitate to create a dedicated page and an entry here'''.

By default, Open Food Facts can manage any kind of label if it's on the food packaging.
