What

  • The current ingredients_text_[lc] field contains the ingredients list as it appears on packaging. For some uses (like computing an environmental impact score like the Eco-Score), it would be very useful to have a more precise and more structured ingredients list.
  • We could for instance introduce a detailed_ingredients_text_[lc] field that would enable producers to send us:
    • the exact amount of grams of each ingredient used (and not the % in the finished product, so that we know if 150 g of meat were necessary to make 100g of dry salami)
    • the origins of each ingredients.
  • We could have a format like this, with 1 ingredient per line, and only child ingredients (not parent ingredients)
    • [quantity?] [label?] [ingredient] [label?] : [origin1, origin2?]
    • e.g.
      • 150g organic beef meat: Germany, Austria
      • 5g salt: France
  • Using a text format instead of something more structured would make it easier for producers to send us whatever data they can collect. i.e. labels, origins would be recommended but optional. In that respect, it would be similar to the packaging_text_[lc] field we have today.
