Each product that is entered into Open Food Facts has a set of fields. What should be entered in these field is not always clear and ambigious. In order to limit this confusion the best practice is listed here. The principle is that only information available on the labels, bottle and capsule might be used. Use the language selected on the OFF Edit Product page. If you use another language to enter fiels, precede it with a lanuage specifier. Thus on the french edit page we would enter en:Wheat Beer.
 +
=== Product name ===
 +
This is the name used on the main label. Often this is the same as the brand, so an extra specification is needed. For instance for {{product|5410228158424}} the main name is Hoegaarden, but below is specified it concerns ''Wit - Blanche'';
 +
=== Common name ===
 +
There is some confusion what to enter here. The best is to enter the product category found above/in the ingredient list. On the backlabel of {{product|5410228158424}}, it specifies Wheat Beer.
 +
=== Quantity ===
 +
The contents of the bottle, often in cl. Not much confusion.
 +
=== Packaging ===
 +
What is entered here is not always clear. It can be the elements of the productpackage and the make of these elements. If both are entered, it should be clear which element goed with which make. Look also at the bottle itself. In order to reduce the confusion we can do:
 +
* Bottle:green glass / Bottle:brown glass / Bottle:transparant glass. and sometimes even more detailed Bottle:brown glass:GL 72 {{product|5410228158424}};
 +
* Capsule:metal;
 +
* Box:paper
 +
=== Brands ===
 +
This is usually found on the main label. One can also add the owner of the brand. For instance for {{product|5410228158424}} this would be InBev Belgium;
 +
=== Categories ===
 +
=== Labels, certifications, awards ===
 +
=== Origin of ingredients ===
 +
=== Manufacturing or processing places ===
 +
This would be the address of the brewery.
 +
=== EMB code ===
 +
Only enter the EMB-code, such as EMB 29293G for {{product| 3760010140017}};
 +
=== Link to product page on the official site of the producer ===
 +
This can be found on the label nowadays, although it does more than often point to the producer site. Just enter it.
 +
=== Best before date ===
 +
Enter this, so any change in labeling and/or packaging can be tracked. If you can not find it on the label, check out the bottle itself.
 +
=== City, state and country where purchased ===
 +
Note that this NON-productlabel information. Just enter where you have bought it.
 +
=== Stores ===
 +
Add the store name(s) where you bought the product.
 +
=== Countries where sold ====
 +
This is the same as the purchase country? We could add the countries/languages seen on the label.
 +
=== Ingredients list ===
 +
This can be found on the label. Sometimes it is hidden in the text, so read everything.
 +
=== Traces ===
 +
Allergy ingredients are specified separately as "contains" for instance.
 +
=== Nutrition Facts Not specified ===
 +
Leave this unchecked, as the alcohol percentage is a nutrition fact and always found on the label.
 +
=== Serving size ===
 +
Usually this is the same as the bottle size (25 or 33cl);
 +
=== Nutrition Facts ===
 +
Add the alchol percentage here, the other facts are not often found.
