Hi @teolemon,
I wanted to start working on this but had a few questions as I’m unsure about the exact scope.
I saw GS1 being mentioned in the open-foodfacts-server(ref: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/issues/6214], and here’s my current understanding:

We currently have key, value, and barcode (represented as "product" in the schema).
We could potentially add something like:

{ "gs1_category": "10000123", "gs1_category_name": "Fruit Juice", "gs1_packaging": "Carton", "gs1_certifications": ["USDA Organic"] }
I’d like to clarify on there points:

1. should the GS1 categories be stored in the database, or just served through the api
2. are we focusing on product attributes (e.g., ingredients, packaging) or metadata (e.g., GTIN, brand info)?
