Data sources & licensing

Where our data comes from and what you may do with it.

Open Food Facts

Part of our product data comes from Open Food Facts and is © Open Food Facts contributors. The database is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) , individual contents under the Database Contents License , and product images under CC BY-SA .

Share-alike: our product database is open

In keeping with the ODbL's share-alike terms, our product database (product names, barcodes, brands, categories and vegan status) is publicly available under the same license via our data dump endpoint (/api/dump, JSON; supports ?limit= and ?offset= windowing).

Editorial content

Company research — ownership relationships, sourcing notes and documented track records — is our own editorial work, separate from the open product database. Every published track-record entry cites at least two independent sources. © The Green Database. If you spot an error, please contact us and we will review and correct it promptly.
