How we can leverage the data

Perform checks on products that are already complete

• Check how similar ingredients lists are to what is detected
  • Calculate percentage of ingredients similarity
    • List of parsed in ingredients list
    • Ingredients found in the JSON (from the list of ingredients)

• Check for ingredients not found in the current ingredients list (if not empty)
  • Needs ingredients taxonomisation to avoid false positives

• Check if brands are suggested that are not here (eg Umbrella brands)
  • Taxonomize brands
  • Propose candidates

• Check nutrition values on new images
  • Marcel Salathé seems to be working on a machine learning solution to extract nutrition values from raw images

• Look for new languages
  • Generate a list of languages in each image/product
    • Use language detection libs to detect all languages
    • Use language value in JSON
  • Check if the product has images and values for all of them
    • values that change are (front/ingredients/nutrition images) & (front/ingredients text)
  • Make a page with a list of products with new languages to add

Suggest values for incomplete products

• Categories candidates, based on extracted text

• Brands candidates based on:
  • the Brand JSON field
  • Raw text extraction
  • URL regex
    • Based on Wikidata urls
    • Based on urls extracted in other products, or set as Product urls

• Packaging candidates
  • Taxonomy match
  • Existing values match

• Location candidates
  • OpenStreetMap/Wikidata match
  • Taxonomy match
  • Existing values match

• Packager codes candidates
  • EMB code
  • EU codes

• Quantity candidates
  • Regex match

• Labels, certifications, awards
  • Taxonomy match

Make uncomplete products searchable

• Add raw JSON output as hidden by default text to enable search engines to index incomplete products (it could be collapsed and shown after the click of a button)
• Add hidden field to enable the internal search engine to find incomplete products

Expand Open Food Facts coverage by adding additional information in new fields

• Description
  • some products are very talkative, non-essential marketing information (eg on wines)
  • it can be a first step before we add the other fields
• Cooking recommandation
• Storage recommandation
• Postal address of the producer
• Postal address of the distributor
• Email Address of the producer
• Email Address of the distributor
• Phone number of the producer
• Phone number of the distributor
• Website of the brand
• Ingredient percentage
