This page contains the definition of the hierarchy of categories used in Open Food Facts.

The definition contains:

* stopwords (words that can be ignored when matching category names)
+
* word synonyms (words that can be exchanged when matching category names)
+
* category synonyms (the synonyms are then matched also in other category names that contains those synonyms)
