Today Open Food Facts is thrilled to be counted as a digital public good alongside many other incredible open source projects working to achieve the sustainable development goals. 
It has been recognised as such by the Digital Public Goods Alliance, a multi-stakeholder UN-endorsed initiative that facilitates the discovery and deployment of open-source technologies, bringing together countries and organisations to create a thriving global ecosystem for digital public goods and helping to achieve the sustainable development goals.
This is a collective accomplishment by the Open Food Facts community of contributors, participating daily to make our open database what it is. 
What’s a digital public good? According to the UN Secretary General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, digital public goods are open-source software, open standards, open data, open AI systems, and open content collections that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm, and help attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
