Food Additives

Objectives

The goals of those projects are to:

• gather data on food additives so that it can be used in conjunction with other Open Food Facts data
• determine what food additives data should be displayed on Open Food Facts product pages
• create information pages for each food additive
• possibly classify the risk of each additive so that it can be shown on Open Food Facts
  • currently done for some additives on Open Food Facts in French language: http://fr.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Projet:Fiches_sur_les_additifs

Types of data

Codes, names and synonyms

See Global additives taxonomy

Additive production

• Sources of the additive
  • Natural extract / chemical synthesis
  • Vegetarian, vegan
  • Containing pork
• How is the additive produced?
• Religious certifications
  • Casher
  • Halal

Sources of data

For each source, we should note under which licence the data is available.
