Manufacturers can now send real-time photos and data of their products from Equadis to Open Food Facts.
Always up-to-date data
Producers can send complete information on all their products, with a reduced risk of error, and most importantly, update them automatically in real time. This is very important because the composition of many products changes over time, for example when manufacturers improve recipes to remove additives, or improve the Nutri-Score.
Data useful to everyone, including manufacturers !
Sharing their product data with Open Food Facts via Equadis allows manufacturers to make their products visible on the Open Food Facts app and site (used each month by more than 2 million people), and on more than 100 apps and general or specialized services that use the Open Food Facts database. Data is also used by research teams, and having complete and up-to-date data greatly facilitates their work.
The integration of data via Equadis also gives access to the free Open Food Facts platform for producers which also allows :
- to indicate additional information (such as links to product details on the brand's website, contact details for consumer and sales departments)
- compute and check their Nutri-Score, the NOVA processing level and very soon the Eco-score
- to identify opportunities for product improvement (for example, when possible, we propose reachable changes in composition to improve the Nutri-Score)
How can I move forward ?
