Partners of Open Food Facts

A big thank you to Open Food Facts partners!

Open Food Facts is an associative project and citizen of general interest to improve the food and the health of all. Tens of thousands of volunteers are involved in the project, and the infrastructure needed to support and facilitate their work is funded by one-on-one donations and committed partners.

Note: to stay independent, we do not accept financial support from companies and foundations related to the food industry, but we are happy to collaborate with producers to automatically integrate data and photos of their products into the database.
