Open Everything Facts
Powering consumer choice on anything with a bar code
When we started Open Food Facts, it already seemed like a bold endeavour to compile comprehensive food product data into a single database, with far-reaching positive impacts, and the rest is history. Why not extend this concept further? Why should consumers not have the same level of informed decision-making power for products beyond food, like their shampoo, bicycles, refrigerators, or ventilation systems? Our ambition is to integrate our existing product databases — Open Food Facts, Open Product Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and Open Pet Food Facts — into one unified, easy-to-navigate mobile application. This will include a universal scan, a new unified versatile and simplified product page, simplified personal and private preferences, as well as the matching contribution experience. Ultimately, this project is a stride towards a world where transparency and informed choices are the norms, not the exception, in every aspect of consumer goods.
