===Etiquetage des produits pré-emballés (Code Emballeur - EMB)===
*Définition: produit constitué par une denrée alimentaire et l'emballage dans lequel elle a été conditionnée avant sa présentation à la vente. Les denrées préemballées sont des produits le plus souvent vendus dans les rayons de libre service et soumis à des rÚgles strictes.
Deux grandes rĂšgles doivent ĂȘtre respectĂ©es :
#l'Ă©tiquetage doit faire figurer diverses informations qui renseignent objectivement le consommateur. Elles doivent ĂȘtre rĂ©digĂ©es au moins en français
#l'Ă©tiquetage doit ĂȘtre loyal et ne doit pas induire le consommateur en erreur (composition du produit, origine
)
Les mentions obligatoires devant figurer sur les produits sont :
#la dénomination de vente qui définit le produit (ex. : confiture extra de framboises).
#l'origine, si son omission risque d'induire le consommateur en erreur (ex. : chorizo espagnol, fabriqué en France), on peut indiquer seulement le pays, ou le département, voire la commune (ex. : Fabriqué en ArdÚche).
#la liste des ingrĂ©dients mis en Ɠuvre par ordre d'importance dĂ©croissante (y compris additifs et arĂŽmes).
#La quantité de certains ingrédients, par exemple ceux mis en valeur sur l'étiquetage ou dans la dénomination de vente (ex. : gùteau aux fraises, pizza au jambon)
#la quantité nette du produit en volume (produit liquide) ou masse (autres produits). Si le produit est présenté dans un liquide, indication du poids net égoutté.
#la date de consommation pour les denrĂ©es pĂ©rissables : Date Limite de Consommation (DLC) « Ă  consommer jusqu'au
 » ou pour les produits de conservation : Date Limite d'Utilisation Optimale (DLUO) « Ă  consommer de prĂ©fĂ©rence jusqu'au/avant le
 ». Ces mentions doivent figurer en toutes lettres.
#l'identification du fabricant : nom, adresse. Si conditionnement par un prestataire, indiquer les coordonnées du centre d'emballage (précédé de « emb » (ex. : EMB A07555)).
#le numéro du lot de fabrication, à des fins de traçabilité. Cette mention est obligatoire depuis 2005. En revanche, la dénomination du lot est libre (ex.: lot 0607).
#le mode d'emploi, si la denrée nécessite un usage approprié ou une conservation spécifique (ex. : à conserver dans un endroit sec)
#la marque de salubrité (ou estampille sanitaire), qui identifie les établissements préparant, traitant, transformant, manipulant ou entreposant des denrées animales ou d'origine animale (marque obtenue auprÚs de la DSV)
Les mentions ou expressions réglementées :
*« biologique » : produits issus de l'Agriculture Biologique et certifiés par un organisme de contrÎle
*« pur » : terme utilisable que pour certains produits (pur jus, pur porc)
*« campagne », « fermier », « paysan » : attention à la prise en compte du caractÚre fermier lié à l'exploitation agricole
*« artisanal » : produit qui doit ĂȘtre fabriquĂ© par un artisan, inscrit au registre des mĂ©tiers
*« maison » ou « fait maison » : que si le produit est préparé de maniÚre non industrielle, sur le lieu de vente
*« à l'ancienne », « traditionnel » : seulement si produits fabriqués selon des usages anciens répertoriés. Pas d'additifs
*« naturel » : produit non transformé, non traité, tel qu'on le trouve à l'état naturel
*« du terroir » : signifie l'utilisation de matiÚres premiÚres obtenues à partir de procédés de fabrication, issues d'une aire géographique restreinte. Privilégier l'origine géographique ou le terme « fermier »
*Decryptage du code emballeur EMBxxxx: deux premiers chiffres = département, trois chiffres suivants = code INSEE de la commune, lettre = établissement si plusieurs sur la commune

===Ventes de denrées non préemballées, vendues en vrac===
Définition: Les denrées non préemballées sont les denrées présentées à la vente en vrac. C'est à dire présentées sans emballage à la vente et emballé à la demande du client au moment de l'achat (ex. : fruits ou légumes en vrac, baguette de pain, pùtisserie non emballée, traiteur
).

===Conserves et semi-conserve===
Le décret du 19 février 1991 sur l'étiquetage a supprimé l'obligation réglementaire d'une lettre-code de l'année de fabrication. Cependant, l'utilisation de ces lettres-codes permet une identification claire de l'année de fabrication par les distributeurs et les gestionnaires de stocks de produits appertisés. Ces lettres-codes sont communiquées aux Autorités de Tutelle, aux Organisations Professionnelles françaises et européennes, à l'Administration.

===IFPS (International Federation for Produce Standards)===
*IFPS is the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS) is composed of national produce associations from around the globe.The long term objective of the federation is to improve the supply chain efficiency of the fresh produce industry through developing, implementing and managing harmonized international standards. IFPS was previously known as The International Federation for Produce Coding (IFPC), IFPS is a coalition of fruit and vegetable associations from the around the globe that joined together in 2001 as equal partners to pursue the task of introducing a global standard for the use of international Price Look-Up (PLU) numbers.

'''Regular PLU Codes'''


PLU or Price Look Up codes have been used by supermarkets since 1990 to make check-out and inventory control easier, faster and more accurate. PLU codes are used to identify bulk produce (and related items such as nuts and herbs). They tell the supermarket cashier whether an apple is a conventionally grown Fuji apple which may sell for $1.29 per pound versus an organically grown Fuji apple which may sell for $2.29 per pound. IFPS is the global organization that assigns PLU codes to produce items.


PLU codes are 4 or 5 digit numbers and will appear on a small sticker applied to the individual piece of fresh produce. The PLU number identifies produce items based upon various attributes which can include the commodity, variety, growing methodology (e.g. organic), and the size. These numbers are assigned by the IFPS after rigorous review at both national and international levels. PLU codes ensure that the accurate price is paid by consumers by removing the need for cashiers to identify the product and whether or not it is conventionally or organically grown.


The 4-digit PLU codes for produce are randomly assigned within a series of numbers within the 3000 and 4000 series. There is no intelligence built into the 4-digit code. For example, no one number within the 4-digit number represents anything in particular. The 4-digit codes are for conventionally grown produce. 5-digit codes are used to identify organic produce. The prefix of '9' would be placed in front of the 4-digit conventionally grown code for organic produce. You will not see the 5-digit codes in the PLU codes database since they are simply prefixes added on to the conventionally grown produce PLU codes.


The PLU coding system is voluntary, not mandate by any governing body. There are currently over 1400 PLU codes issued for fresh produce and produce related items.

'''Retailer Assigned PLU Codes'''
 
Retailer Assigned PLU codes allow retailers to designate their own numbers for items that do not have a standard PLU code assigned. After a supplier makes specific arrangements with all retailers that will receive the item, a Retailer Assigned PLU code may be used. Each retailer may assign a different PLU code to the same item, so for items where multiple Retailer Assigned codes exist, we suggest you get the agreement in writing for your records.
For some commodities where there are a large number of varieties, e.g. apples or oranges, a block of Retailer Assigned codes are available in the PLU codes database to identify these varieties which currently don't have a PLU code. Before selecting one to use, you must contact your retailer(s) to ensure they are not already using that code for another variety of that commodity.

Europe

Businesses in the EU handling food products, whether for human consumption or not, must be registered. In some cases, they cannot operate unless approved by their country's competent authority. EU countries draw up public lists of the approved establishments.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, establishments preparing foodstuffs must be registered in each Member State. Furthermore, establishments handling products of animal origin for which hygiene conditions are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:300:0001:0033:EN:PDF) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for food of animal origin, must be approved by the competent authority of each Member State. According to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules, Member States must make up-to-date lists of such establishments available to other Member States and to the public.

In order to assist Member States in making up-to-date lists available to other Member States and to the public, the Commission has created a single, central and easy access to the different lists of approved food establishments published by each Member State.

Every national website is to contain a first page regrouping food activities for which approval is compulsory. For ease of reference, this masterlist is developed following the sequence of the sections in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=OJ:L:2004:226:TOC). Technical specifications pdf have been prepared to ensure wide availability of the information concerning these establishments and to improve the readability of the lists. They include layouts, together with relevant information and codes used to describe food activities.

There are also regulations for animal by-products and feed sector.

Member States will have to comply with these specifications as from 1 January 2007.

I found the "Bodegas" directory in the "Consejo Regulador" site: http://es.riojawine.com/multimedia/files/directorio.xls There you can find the row: Pernod Ricard Winemakers Spain (Campo Viejo) with "Reg Embotellador" = "1.850-LO" Our number!! This is in the city of Logroño (the capital of La Rioja) and the street is "La Rad de Santa Cruz, s/n".

Spanish packaging codes site : RGSEAA number

  • the RGSEAA number that is used to build the ES RGSEAA EC number

  • If you look at it, with that information (RazĂłn Social=Pernod Ricard Winemakers Spain; Localidad=Logroño), you get the only number: 30.00641/LO (i.e. ES 30.00641/LO CE). The address also matches the data.
    • The winery celler (bodega) is this, just by curiosity :-)

  • All the associated companies and locations for the Spanish packaging codes (not only the animal derived ones) can be retrieved from: http://rgsa-web-aesan.msssi.es/rgsa/formulario_principal_js.jsp
  • I keep a data sheet with all codes downloaded from that site.
    • My last version is from 24-10-2014, so I guess is pretty up-to-date.
    • I can upload the file if you want to some place (github, dropbox, ....).
    • It is in odt format (openoffice/libreoffice) but I can convert it to another format if needed.

I also have a table (in wiki format) with the codes of the products added by myself with the name of the company, parent company, location and some other information. It is basically the info that I use to include beside the EU code or Tax Identification number and in the location of the processing company field. I have to clean it a bit and I'll post it here in a new wiki page.The only problem that I can see to match locations with locations in OpenStreetMap is that the first document uses for the places where other languages are used (beside to Spanish), sometimes the traditional name in Spanish, sometimes the name in the local language (basque, catalan...) and in other cases both. A mesh! In my table I use normally the Spanish names. We'll see if some modification have to be done to match with OpenStreetMap location names, whatever they are...Maybe a new field can be added to the app to put in there the company name (and parent companies) that match the EU packaging code (and match also the location of manufacturing or processing place). I normally include that information beside the packaging code, but that's ugly :wink: "

Is there a licence / terms of use for http://rgsa-web-aesan.msssi.es/rgsa/formulario_principal_js.jsp ?

I am looking inside the site (not just the searching engine) and I can't see anything regarding to the license or term of use. It's a public register depending on the public administration, so I don't think there is any problem to get the data. Otherwise wouldn't be available to the public.

Can we just scrape it to get the data for all the ES packaging codes we have in the database?

>> Yes, the only problem can be the significative "zeros" after the key. The format is: AA.xxxxxx/BB, where AA is the key of the type of food (i.e. vegetables, fish, processed products...), BB is the province and xxxxxx is the number. But zeros at the beginning of the number are nor significatives. I mean, 21.000345/MA and 21.345/MA represent the same number. When OFF started 2 years ago, the engine presented always 6 digit. Now, show you normally 5. Well... summarizing, right now in OFF not always match the number (counting zeros) with the number in the RGSA datebase. So, if you write a script to retrieve the data you'll have to take that in consideration.

works with a GET request: >> Yes, you can recuperate the data with a GET request with code or a script. I particularly get the data from the "easy" way: just write the key that I am lookin for (for example 21) in the space for the 2 first digit in the "N° RGSEAA:" field. After searching you get all the results for that particular key and then you choose the "Exportar Excel" option. You can do the same for all the keys and join all the data in a table in a local database, a datasheet or wathever...

in the UK, all figures is a code attributed directly by the FSA, when one or two letters followed by figures are code attributed by local authorities (the letters identify the local authority). But some UK codes also include an "S" after the figures, we still don't know why.
