In order to describe specific features of food products, we use tags consisting of two items, a property and a value. Both the property and the value are free format text fields, but often represent numeric or other structured items. Conventions are agreed on the meaning and use of properties and their values, which are captured on this wiki.

Open Food Facts allows anyone to reuse existing properties or create new properties (see the Folksonomy Engine project).

Search for properties

On the following search box, you can search for properties you want:

List of documented properties

This is the list of current documented properties. To be added to this list, a property:

  • must have its dedicated page beginning by /Folksonomy/Property/
  • must be included into the category "Property" (the list below is just a view of this category)

(A more detailed list will come in october 2021.)
