OpenFoodDB is a project intended to make information about food accessible. It is accomplished by a webpage where every one can sign up and fill in what information is written on foodstuff packages. This information is then presented on the webpage in a summary and forseeable way. Pictures as logos, marks and the foodstuff itself are also presented for easier identification.
For each foodstuff published on the webpage there is also history. If there has been changes in the recipe or if there are spelling errors and there has been a change in the table. All changes are recorded and easily looked up on the webpage.
There is also an API so that the information in the database can be accessed externaly. The information can then be used for example in Android apps and other webpages.
OpenFoodDB is up and running on www.openfooddb.com
