You decide how
much you share.

What’s the transparency score?

The transparency score reflects how much product information you share. The more, the higher your score. It helps people understand how well they know the product in their hands.

Your product’s score is based on the following data:

Ingredient origins Where ingredients were grown or produced
Quantities How much of each ingredient is in the product
Suppliers Who supplied the ingredients

Have questions?

How can I start?

The onboarding is quick and easy. To get started, we’ll schedule a short introductory call to go over what you’d like to showcase in The Origin.

You provide us with the necessary information and materials (e.g., photos), and we’ll take care of setting everything up and entering the data for you.

After that, you print the QR codes and add them to your product packaging.

We’ll make sure you’re all set to manage future entries on your own—quickly and easily.

What if I don’t have all the data yet?

Start with what you have. More transparency means a better score, but you can always build it up over time.

Who can see the information?

Anyone who scans the QR code on your product. You decide what you want to share.

Can I start with just one product?

Absolutely. It’s easiest to begin with one, then expand to the rest of your line.

Is The Origin really free?

100% free. No fees, no fine print. We created The Origin to help build a fairer food system rooted in transparency. Our mission is to connect producers and consumers through honesty and respect for food. We believe everyone deserves access to trustworthy information.

Who helps me with the data input?

In the beginning, we’ll help you enter all the initial data.

Once your product is in the system, adding new lots is simple and fast—just update a few basic details like the production date, expiration date, and batch number.
