# Open Food Facts Database

## What is 🍊 Open Food Facts?

### A food products database

Open Food Facts is a database of food products with ingredients, allergens, nutrition facts and all the tidbits of information we can find on product labels.

### Made by everyone
Open Food Facts is a non-profit association of volunteers. 25.000+ contributors like you have added 1.7 million + products from 150 countries using our Android or iPhone app or their camera to scan barcodes and upload pictures of products and their labels.

### For everyone
Data about food is of public interest and has to be open. The complete database is published as open data and can be reused by anyone and for any use. Check-out the cool reuses or make your own!

## The Parquet Dataset

This dataset is a simpler version of the [JSONL dump](https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data) provided by the Open Food Facts organization on a daily basis. It was converted into the Parquet format for easy of use.

### Data processing
 
* `Debug` tags were removed.
* `Tags`tags are conserved since they contain most information,
* `Hierarchy` tags were removed
* `lc` tags were removed. It corresponds to the ["language of the interface"](https://openfoodfacts.github.io/openfoodfacts-server/reference/api-tutorials/adding-missing-products/#sending-the-right-country-and-language-parameters-based-on-the-country-your-user-is-located-in-and-the-language-the-product-is-in),
* `langs` tags are kept for each `ingredients_text` and conserved as individual columns (*for now*).

The original JSONL dump was processed using [Pyarrow](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/).
