Open Food Facts

Open Food Facts has an official partnership with Santé publique France, the French National Public Health Agency. This collaboration is formalized through a multi-year convention. This formal relationship with a national health agency demonstrates the recognition of Open Food Facts' value in informing and supporting public health initiatives. Additionally, due to the open nature of our data, it's likely that various government departments and multilateral organizations are using our database without our direct knowledge. While we can't track all usage, this openness ensures our data is freely available for public health research, policy-making, and other governmental purposes worldwide. Open Food Facts is widely used by academic researchers, as evidenced by hundreds of scientific papers citing our database (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Open+Food+Facts%22). Our data is also used by numerous health and nutrition apps, food industry professionals for product comparisons, and consumer organizations for product analysis.
