Frequently asked questions
Where does the data come from?
From Open Food Facts, an open and collaborative food database (a bit like Wikipedia for food). The data is under an open licence (ODbL), and the API is free and needs no key.
What is the Nutri-Score?
A 5-level nutrition label, from A (best nutritional quality) to E, computed from the per-100 g composition (energy, sugars, saturated fat, salt, fibre, protein…).
What does the NOVA group mean?
NOVA classifies foods by degree of processing: 1 (unprocessed), 2 (culinary ingredient), 3 (processed) and 4 (ultra-processed). The higher the number, the more processed the product.
Why is a product missing or incomplete?
The database is filled by volunteers: some products are not listed yet or have partial information. You can contribute through the Open Food Facts app.
