This project aims to see if it's possible for OpenFoodFacts to support diets in the most generic way.
Exploring how Open Food Facts can support any diet
Diet definition
What is a diet exactly? Is there a nice wikipedia definition. The idea for diets started with the question how vegetarian products are supported by Open Food Facts. It is clear however that these idea's can be extended to any dietary requirement. Other examples of diets are Hallal or Kosher, but also Organic can be seen as a diet.
If a consumer wants to make a subselection of the products in the Open Food Database based on ingredients or aspects of ingredients following personal beliefs, then one can see it as a dietary requirement.

Product support levels
On the official dutch association site for vegetarians, they use a five-level scheme to indicate whether a product is suitable for vegetarians. such a scheme can be adapted to any diet.
- light green - the product has a lable by an official certification organisation, which certifies that the product is suitable for the diet;
- dark green - the product contains no ingredients that seem unsuitable for the diet;
- yellow - the product contains additives that might not be suitable for the diet;
- orange - the product contains additives not suitable for the diet;
- red - the product clearly contains ingredients not suitable for the diet;
Not all diets will support all levels.
Translation Issues
A file is needed with all possible / supported diets.
Diet logo's
Each supported diet requires a logo, similar to the one used for Palm fat. Maybe inspiration can be taken from the official corresponding logo's.
