What
The Open Food Facts project defines itself as an Open Database on Food products, so this is at the heart of our project.
The Database Team tries to ensure the database is complete and without errors.
Aim 🎯
Our users need to be able to get products they care about and find accurate data on them, helping their choice in everyday life.
When we build the database, we are contributing to a knowledge common, a gift to humanity that can help improve life in many ways.
