We're tracking prices and packaging for food since 2012 at Open Food Facts, and we have a food archeology project:

Feel free to add what you have in your attic ;-)

And meanwhile, the Italian food lobbies are blocking Nutri-Score adoption at the EU level

I was wondering: have you spotted Open Food Facts as a database (with 4 million products). If so, any reason you chose not to use it @pobbypablo ?

hey @gbriano, Pierre from Open Food Facts.
This is a topic (defragmentation of recalls worldwide) we're very interested by.
Would you be interested in joining the Open Food Facts/Open Products Facts community ?

Hi Josh:
Pierre, Open Food Facts NGO co-founder.
1. Generic, non-branded foods & 2. Simple prepared foods that ease food entry:
Those two could be solved in a deterministic way, and we'd be happy for a separate Open Food Facts hosted API endpoint (basically a small backend serving a combination of all national generic databases), or improvement to the core software
3. Restaurant foods
- Open Prices (our effort to collect geo-located prices on products) could be an entry point to collect menus, and potentially estimate nutrition for food in restaurants, since we have support for products without barcode.
4. Micronutrients beyond those reported by the brand.
- We have an issue to propose approximation of micro-nutrients from reputable database: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/issues...
We're happy to cover more use-cases, so feel free to join the project and contribute your time/coding skills to help us solve those issues. https://slack.openfoodfacts.org or https://forum.openfoodfacts.org or directly https://github.com/openfoodfacts

If you like Nutrition facts labels and Artificial Intelligence, Open Food Facts has a nice AI effort at https://github.com/openfoodfacts/robotoff and https://hunger.openfoodfacts.org/
We do weekly Community Calls if you're interested.

We need a modern opensource barcode reader. The best thing (zxing) is in maintenance mode, and the newer barcode scanners with niceties like neural scan, 90% scan, bortched barcode scan are all closed source.

Open Food Facts computes Nutri-Score worldwide. You can get the app @ https://www.openfoodfacts.app
(and as it's opensource and opendata, you can help :-)

For all nutrition/food scanning purposes: Open Food Facts. Source code and data free as in speech.
Think Wikipedia for food (and cosmetics)
