Goal
Fuel the Change with Open Food Facts: Supporting Informed & Healthier Food Choices Everywhere!
Open Food Facts is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering consumers worldwide with transparent and accessible food information. Since our humble beginnings in 2012, we’ve collectively built a global database of food products, crowdsourced by volunteers and free for everyone to use.
Open Food Facts has become a vital resource for those wanting to make healthier, more sustainable food choices & for researchers on a mission to improve public health.
Access to such information is crucial in a world where 1 in 8 people in the world are living with obesity*, a major risk factor for a range of diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and various types of cancer. Or where food additives that have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease are rampant in the ultra-processed food offer (in Europe and North America, 30 to 60% of dietary energy intake in adults is provided by UPFs. See latest research**).
As international as our project may be, we still struggle to find the funds necessary to maintain and expand this free tool.
Our community, supported by a small permanent team, works diligently to ensure that the database remains accurate, up-to-date, and available in many languages. We rely on the generosity of people like you who believe in the power of knowledge to positively change habits. Your donation would go directly toward improving our platform, adding new features, and reaching more communities worldwide.
With your help, we can achieve:
- A more comprehensive database, covering even more products worldwide (and not only food ones, but also beauty & any other product with a barcode!)
- Reliable tools for consumers to easily analyse the nutritional quality and environmental impact of their food
- On-boarding more food manufacturers who are willing to share their data (via our free Pro Platform)
- Better support for the Open Food Facts volunteer community
- Greater transparency in the food industry with the numerous ripple effects it can have!
Every bit of support, no matter the amount, gets us one step closer to a world where more consumers have access to open information empowering them to make informed choices.
If you're able, please consider making a donation today to fuel this collective mission. You can make a secure donation directly through our Donorbox page.
