  1. Allergens subsection

    How if we can create a subsection where we can introduce the allergens that the food possibly contais? It could be really useful for celiac people or lactose intolerant (among others).
    Take in consideration, thanks and salute to the community!

  2. Please can you do a pack with eight rashes, why seven, if I make bacon sandwich for the two I'm one short.

    If I make a bacon sandwich for two, I put two rashes of bacon on each bread bun, we have two sandwiches each, but then I'm one short because you only do a pack of seven rashes, why ?

  3. Highlight Lists

    Several suggestions on this forum are asking for some target highlighting functionality: To highlight allergens, identify non-Vegan foods, so on...

    I would like to propose a generic solution to all of these: highlight lists. Users create/modify downloadable lists of ingredients to be highlighted. For example, a user could create a highlight list for "Gluten" which contains ingredients: "Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, ...". Then, another user can download the list and select to highlight all "Gluten" ingredients as green. Users individually select which highlight lists they want to show for their own screen only.

    Users can then select to highlight whatever…

  6. Understanding the Eugenics Agenda history and ongoing systematic GMO Food introduction into global markets..

    http://truthstreammedia.com/rockefell...
    Analysis of "Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas" by authors Dr. Joseph P. Farrell and Dr. Scott D. de Hart chapter outlining the nexus between the Rockefeller dynasty's quest for Eugenics and their attempt to control the food supply. The Population Council, founded by John D. Rockefeller III, was a powerful vehicle to bring family planning -- population control using "wanted children" as a banner for eugenics -- to the developing world in the post-War era while Nelson Rockefeller would play a significant role in consolidating agriculture and increasing the world food supply. John D. Rockefeller III's Agricultural…

  9. decode barcode by country, producer and article number

    every barcode is build by rules of EAN/GS1/GTIN . It starts with country code, vendor/producer and his article numbers. Would it be a good idea to connect each product to a EAN database ? Then at first look to the barcode number every user could learn about the composition about food barcode numbers just at first look.

  10. Better barcode scanner.

    It is not very powerful at this moment. Compare for instance with the QR Barcode Scanner from Geeks.Lab.2015 (at least on my HTC One M8 ....)

  15. Queremos una bebida de soja ecologica (y SÓLO soja) sin agregados,

    Es ridículo que una empresa que se dedica a la producción de productos ecológicos agregue químicos cómo las vitaminas o espesantes y no entienda que los naturistas consumimos bebidas de soja y sólo de soja y para hacerlo tengamos que comprar en otros comercios.

  16. keep data up-to-date

    Hello,
    Do you have any procedure for verifying and updating the database?
    Imagine I want to use - and above all rely on - your data because I am highly allergic to egg (actually my son is :)). So far, I just can't fully trust the information provided, because the ingredients might evolve and I wouldn't be aware of it. So I still have to read the tiniest ingredients lists on the packagings. Ingredients sometimes even differ for some products, depending on the batch number ! This is quite frustrating...
    We could imagine some kinds of warning systems in case…

    under review  ·  AdminStéphane Gigandet (Admin, Open Food Facts) responded

    Hello Julien,
    This is a tough problem that we are trying to address, but we haven’t found a very good way to make sure the data is up to date. In fact as you say, at a given time, there maybe multiple co-existing versions of a product. So I’m afraid that you will always have to double check the label.
    That being said, we can try to be better by asking users to update new photos when we notice that the ones we have are old (e.g. one year).
    We are also trying to track the evolution of products over time:
    http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Project:Product_versions_and_history
    If you want to discuss this further, please join us on Slack. I’ll send you an invite.
    Thanks,
    Stéphane

  17. Compress the CSV

    When downloading the data export the CSV file is currently about 155mb. The download can be very slow at times. Save the time and bandwidth by compressing the file into a zip file. Using basic zip compression the file becomes about 22mb, that is about an 85% savings.

  18. Android app : Traffic light rating system / Système d'information «Feux tricolores»

    Grace au "Open Food Facts", j'ai pu créer une application Android appelée "NutriFlash" qui permet en scannant le code barre d'un produit alimentaire, d'afficher son score nutritionnel sous forme de feux tricolores (système d'information nutritionnelle qui renseigne sur la qualité nutritionnelle globale des aliments en prenant en compte les calories, l'apport en sel, en graisses saturées et en sucres ajoutés)

  19. add a food diary app

    Here's my use-case: I want to keep a food diary.

    http://fddb.info/ has good usability (I'm from Germany),
    BUT:
    - their site has no export -- lame
    - they keep data only for 2 years if you pay -- suuure
    - you cannot add food facts -- lame

    I believe if there was a food diary app based on openfoodfacts, then people would have an incentive to contribute even more.

    Imagine this: It is evening. You type the things you ate into the openfoodfacts-diary, but suddenly you cannot find X. Fortunately openfoodfacts is open, so you fetch X's packaging, look at…
