#'''Waste salvaging information per category.''' Even when food was spoiled, throwing it away is not necessarily the only option. The same applies to inedible parts of food items, spent coffee grounds etc.. Similarly to the edibility information, articles would inform about potential uses. Any additional use before ultimately throwing away something is waste avoidance and resource protection. Examples include: using spent lemon halves for washing dishes (avoiding soap); using coffee grounds as fertilizer etc.; home-composting all kitchen scraps and food waste. | #'''Waste salvaging information per category.'''

#'''Referencing authoritative sources.''' For the per-category information articles about edibility, storage and waste salvaging, Open Food Facts will require the information contained there to have "fact status". A simple and proven way to achieve that would be to apply the Wikipedia authoring standards about use of authoritative sources, neutral tone etc.. Because both kinds of texts are about established facts, and not about opinions, original research and the like. | #'''Referencing authoritative sources.'''

#'''Web accessibility of the per-category information articles.''' The per-category information articles about edibility, storage and waste salvaging will in many cases be the world's best freely accessible articles about these topics. Consequentially, when making them available on the web and not just inside the app, it can be expected that search engines will bring a lot of traffic to them over time. By hinting from these articles to the app, they can become a major publicity instrument for spreading the news about this app. | |||

##Picture of printed-on information. Most food items have only one location where manufacturers print something on the individual, already packaged food item. This includes an expiration date and often other codified information about batch, production location, production date and time etc.. So it makes sense to introduce one more picture data type to let users collect this information, making it available for later transcription and reverse engineering by others. | ##Picture of printed-on information.
