Producers' data are welcome in Open food Facts.
Thousands of producers already publish their data into Open Food Facts database.
Do's and don't
- Producers' data should be the same as printed on the packaging.
- Producers' data mustn't contain subjective data.
Better tastelabel is prohibited, even if it's written on the packaging.
The poor and simple way
Every producer can add its products with a regular account, directly on Open Food Facts platform. If it has more than a dozen of products, it will be painful by the time.
The better way
Even if the producer have few products, we recommend using the dedicated Open Food Facts Pro platform: https://world.pro.openfoodfacts.org/
The Pro platform:
- allows to mass import and/or update products and their pictures in Open Food Facts (via Excel files, CSV, etc.)
- allows to compute food indicators such as Nutri-Score
- allows to control data before import: data errors are reported; each product page can be simulated
- identifies products enhancements: for example, a better Nutri-Score due to a small sugar or salt variation
