Hi teolemon, if you're still following:

Please consider allowing multiple barcodes for an individual product. I live in the USA, where (because of tradition and archaic technology) some grocers don't like to market products bearing only EAN barcodes. So, many imported items have both UPC and EAN barcode.

I hit a different case today: a box of 20 pieces with one barcode, but the individual item inside has a different barcode.

Maybe the functionality is already there, but I couldn't figure out how to do this.



Can you send a mail to pierre@openfoodfacts.org so that I can invite you to the OpenFoodFacts slack. Barcodes are indeed a tedious issue.
