Producers' data

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 taste label 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:

1. allows to mass import and/or update products and their pictures in Open Food Facts (via Excel files, CSV, etc.)
2. allows to compute food indicators such as Nutri-Score
3. allows to control data before import: data errors are reported; each product page can be simulated
4. identifies products enhancements: for example, a better Nutri-Score due to a small sugar or salt variation
