Many producers already publish their data as open-data into Open Food Facts database.

Platform for Producers

Even if the producer has few products, producers should use the free Open Food Facts Platform for Producers: https://world.pro.openfoodfacts.org/

Key benefits for producers:

  • ensure accurate information on their products
  • receive hints from the platform on how to improve their products to meet public expectations
  • gives visibility to their products
  • enable multiple consumer apps to have their products referenced

Data given by producers have priority upon data received from contributors, within following year (renewable by updating data). see Special status for data send by identified producers

Features

  1. mass import and/or update products and their pictures in Open Food Facts (via Excel files, CSV, EQUADIS)
  2. compute food indicators such as Nutri-Score, NOVA, Eco-Score
  3. control data before import: data errors are reported; each product page can be simulated
  4. identifies products enhancements: for example, a better Nutri-Score due to a small sugar or salt variation
  5. protect qualified data from modifications (products which passed data quality controls)
