• Add ingredients in Croatian
• And more to come

Missions

Hunger Games

To complete the products (adding the weight, the brand, the labels) without having to do everything manually, you can play with the AI project of OFF (robotoff). It is like a game, you are asked to confirm the detected weight or brand or labels: https://hunger.openfoodfacts.org/questions?type=label&country=en%3Acroatia

Complete basic information for all possible products

• the name: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/state/en:product-name-to-be-completed
• the brand: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/state/en:brands-to-be-completed

Here is the list of all brands found in Croatia: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/brands

Sometimes, brands belong to a bigger entity (example: "z bregov" belongs to "vindija"). In this case, you can write both brands. This spreadsheet could help you to find which brand belongs to which bigger entity: https://lite.framacalc.org/5x2jagp28p-9w14 (feel free to complete the file!)

• the weight: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/state/en:quantity-to-be-completed

• and, to complete more missing information: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/states

Review the quality issues

Sometimes the energy in kcal is greater than the one in kJ, which is impossible.

Sometimes the nutriscore written on the package is different than the one calculated by OpenFoodFacts.

Sometimes the weights is unexpectedly large.

All these suspicious findings are tagged. Find the tags list in the following page: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data-quality

Read also the dedicated page about quality: Quality

Add missing ingredients in the taxonomies

Missing ingredients (the one in blue when clicking on "Details of the analysis of the ingredients") can be added in the ingredients.txt file (be careful: vitamins, additives, ... have their own files) in the taxonomies folder, in the https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server repository (you have to clone, create a new branch, apply changes, add, commit, push, make a pull request).

Some more details about taxonomies: Global taxonomies

To find products with missing ingredients, you can use the states: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/states. And also combine the states filters: https://hr.openfoodfacts.org/search?states_tags=en:ingredients-to-be-completed,en:Ingredients%20photo%20selected (this example filters products where the ingredients photo has been selected but where the ingredients list is missing).

Help convince local producers to share their data

🏭 Food manufacturers and retailers Yes! To enrich the database, we can count on contributors... but also on food manufacturers! Indeed, as they are the source of the data, which often means that they are able to provide good quality data, and in bigger volumes than manual individual contributions.
Help convince local producers to share their data

Communities we can reach out to

• Facebook groups (local food, slow food, non-GMOs, organic…)
• Meetups
• Industry events

Open Prices - Access to Information requests (GDPR requests)

As part of Project:Open-Prices, we need price points for products, loads of them.

If you have a fidelity card, you can ask your data, using the GDPR (if you're in a EU country, or using other laws if you're elsewhere). https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/GDPR_request#Croatia
