Knowledge Team

Open Food Facts Mobile & WebApp Knowledge Team

Our Aim 🎯

• To empower individuals worldwide with knowledge about their food and cosmetics, promoting transparency and informed choices. We achieve this by creating scientific, evidence-based and engaging content that simplifies complex information present on products (food, cosmetics and more).

Our Missions: Educate and Engage

• Craft compelling micro-contents, mobile app, website content on food, nutrition, environment, ultra-processing, ingredients…
• Illustrate those content, with a coherent and consistant graphic charter
• Show how to use our tools, or perform advanced non intuitive tasks

Not our mission

• We are not the Communication team, though they may relay our content through blogposts, or great social media stories ;-)
