==== Product name ==== | |||
The product name is the main name printed on the packaging. It can be a registered trademark such as Nutella. This data is important and useful as it's one of the most used data. | |||
At the beginning of 2020, more than 95% of Open Food Facts products have a product name: | |||
* [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/state/product-name-completed the ones who have a name] | |||
* and the [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/state/product-name-to-be-completed ones who doesn't] | |||
The product name shouldn't include any other information such as the brand of the product, the weight, etc. | |||
Good examples: | |||
* <code>Nesquick</code> ([https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/3033710065967/nesquik-poudre-cacaotee-boite-nestle link]) | |||
Bad examples: | |||
* <code>Petit déjeuner Nesquick</code> => you don't have to explain, just put the name from the packaging | |||
* <code>Nutella by Ferrero</code> => you shouldn't fill the brand here, there's a field for that :) | |||
==== Common name ==== | |||
