A message from the Open Food Facts team
Help us to fund the Open Food Facts 2020 budget!
Open Food Facts is 100% free and independent of the food industry. We need your help to continue and to grow the project.
Open Food Facts is the "Wikipedia of food", the largest free and open
database of food products in the world.
We started Open Food Facts because we believe information about what
we eat is information of public interest. And as a result, it has to
be public, free and open.
Our data is used by citizens to make healthier food choices thanks to
our mobile app, by public health researchers to study the impact of
food on our health, by journalists for their reporting, and even by
the food industry to improve their products. That's the power of food
transparency: it benefits everyone!
When we founded Open Food Facts, we made the clear choice to be
totally non-profit to maximize our impact by giving away all our work.
We also made the clear choice that we would be totally independent
from the industry, and thus to never accept any funding that could put
our mission at risk.
As a result, we started the project on a shoestring, and we still keep
our budget tight. From 2012 to 2017 we were all volunteers and our
annual budget was less than 1000 euros! The project has grown a lot
however, and we now need a bit more to continue our mission.
We need your help to continue to operate and grow Open Food
Facts.Please consider making a donation to protect and sustain Open
Food Facts.
Thank you,
Anca, Florence, Léonore, Sylvia, Charles, Christian, Ludovic, Pierre,
Sébastien, Stéphane, Vincent and the whole Open Food Facts team
