== Overview ==
The list of taxonomies in use is:
* Additives classes taxonomy
* Brands taxonomy for the producers of products and their corresponding brands. This taxonomy is not in use and still under construction (5-oct-2022);
* Categories taxonomy used to put similar products together, so that they can be compared, averages calculated and analysed as a group. For instance an orange juice of a specific brand can be compared to all orange juices;
* Countries taxonomy has a list of all countries, regions, areas, etc. in the world;
* Ingredients taxonomy for ingredients found on product ingredients lists. Some specific ingredients have been put into separate taxonomies, as these need special handling due to legal requirements:
** Additives taxonomy
** Allergens taxonomy
** Amino acids taxonomy
** Minerals taxonomy
** Nucleotides taxonomy
** Other nutritional substances taxonomy
** Vitamins taxonomy
* Labels taxonomy for every logo and claim by producer about product quality, supply chain, sourcing, diets, etc.;
* Languages taxonomy with a list of world languages in multiple languages;
* NOVA groups taxonomy
* Packaging/recycling taxonomies have been spread out over several specific taxonomies:
** Materials taxonomy with a list of all possible materials that can be used;
** Shapes taxonomy which describe all the packaging parts the packaging can consist of;
** Recycling taxonomy with all ways packaging can be recycled;
* States taxonomy which describe how complete the data of a product on OFF is;
