Key Facts about Open Food Facts
We're firm believers that knowledge about what we eat is of public interest and should be accessible to everyone freely. Open Food Facts gouf 2012 gegrënnt an ass eng Asbl, déi hannert der gréisster oppener Datebank iwwer Liewensmëttelprodukter op der Welt steet.
Als Referenzdatenbank si mir ganz houfreg, datt mir bei der Kreatioun vun iwwer 200 Projeten, Applikatiounen a Websäiten am Liewensmëttelsecteur gehollef hunn. Indem mir eis Datebank nei benotzen, maachen dës Projeten se fir ëmmer méi Leit weltwäit zougänglech a droen domat zu enger méi grousser Transparenz am Liewensmëttelberäich bäi.
