This can be a confusing field. The field is used by Open Food Facts to compare this product to other similar products. Usually a product is written as plural, as in "show me all Trappist Beers". One can distinguish between three types of categories:

* '''productlabel categories''' - any productcategory that is found on the label, such as Belgian beers, Bières d'abbayes, etc. It might double what is written under productname or common name, but that does not matter;
* '''derived categories''' - these are categories derived by Open Food Facts. These categories are based on product name, common name and the productlabel categories.

* '''derived categories''' - these are categories defined by Open Food Facts. You might have entered some already under productlabel categories. other recognized categories are: Beverages, Alcoholic Beverages, Beers, Lagers, Belgian Beers, etc. Enter those as you feel appropriate.
