This is the brands of the product. The main brand, generally clearly displayed on the front pack, should be entered first. A product can have other brands:
* when a product is a brand sold by a big company: Actimel is sold by Danone, see https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/4009700036810/actimel-granatapfel
* when a product is sold with its brand translated in two languages: <code>Nature Valley</code> is sometimes wrote <code>Val Nature</code>; see https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/0065633280267/barre-granola-erable-et-cassonade-nature-valley
There's no taxonomy for brands for the moment, so just do your best and don't waste too much time to enter brands.
Some brands are difficult to read:
* is it <code>Coop</code>, <code>coop</code>, <code>COOP</code>, <code>CO OP</code>?
Some particular cases:
* A brand can contain quotes, such as <code>The Muffin "Mam" Inc</code>
* A brand can contain commas, such as <code>Williams, West & Witt's Products</code>; https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/williams-west-witt-s-prods
In the database, this field is called <code>brands</code>.
