Taxonomy Maintenance

Introduction

Taxonomies play a central role in Open Food Facts. Have a look at Taxonomies for more details.

If you want to help building, extending and maintaining the taxonomies, a few options from simple to complicated, are listed here.

Just tell us

The most easy and quick way to contribute to the taxonomies, is to tell us about an issue, even if it is not related to taxonomies. If you see an ingredient that is not recognised, a category that is not translated or a NOVA-score that is not computed, it might be a taxonomy issue.

Tell us on Twitter with #openfoodfacts, in our Facebook channel, mail us on contact@openfoodfacts.org, or on Slack. And we will take care of it.

Editor

A special editor has been developed to help us.

Github

The most complicated way goes through Github. This option is only for those that are familiar with computers, downloading applications and editing large files.
