Open Food Facts covers [https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/master/taxonomies/labels.txt thousands of labels]. This page is the beginning of a documentation related to these labels. '''If you have knowledge about a label, don't hesitate to create a dedicated page and an entry here'''.
 +
 +
Labels can be related to many types. We list below some of these types, with few examples.
 +
 +
By default, Open Food Facts can manage any kind of label if it's on the food packaging.

Open Food Facts has a [[Global labels taxonomy|dedicated taxonomy for the labels]]. You can add anything if it makes sense as a label: Open Food facts will keep it, but it's better to add it to the label taxonomy:
 +
 +
* next users will be able to choose this label, thanks to the autocompletion, without making mistakes
 +
* it allows to add a picture of the label
 +
* it allows to make link with the corresponding wikidata category
 +
* etc.
 +
 +
To add a label in the taxonomy, see the [[Global labels taxonomy|dedicated page]].
