- Other: brands, allergens, labels (bio, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher...), traceability information (packaging codes, origins, food factories)

- On wines and beers, you'll find the alcohol content.

- We collect prices to document shrinkflation, inflation and more

Our grades are science-based, and Open Food Facts is helping science!

We rely on peer-reviewed science.

- The Nutri-Score has been created by the independent French team led by Professor Hercberg.

- The NOVA groups on food processing have been designed by the international team of Professor Monteiro.

- The additives synthesis is based on reviews by EFSA on exposure levels on food additives.

- The Open Food Facts community is collaborating with research teams across the planet for research that benefits all.
