Food Traceability Codes/EU Food establishments
A food establishment is a facility / an operation that stores, prepares, packages, serves, sells and/or provides food.
The goal of this project is to establish a list of food establishments, to gather data about those establishments, to map food products to food establishments (using identifying codes and/or company names and street addresses), to use the data in the Open Food Facts applications and to enable other applications.
