Flit — 100,000 food products, openly climate-scored

What if every food had a climate score? Here's the first 100,000.

Phase 1 of the EOS-Ayce Eurostars research project is complete: a public, peer-reviewable LCA baseline calculated by Eaternity from public data.

How the scores are calculated

Every score uses lifecycle assessment, drawing on Open Food Facts product data and public LCA references. The EOS engine runs the rest: a gap-filling pipeline that solves for ingredient masses from declared nutrients, infers origin where labels are silent, geo-locates suppliers, models agricultural emissions, attaches transport and processing, and assembles a life-cycle inventory product by product.

Eurostars Project Milestones

The EOS-Ayce Eurostars Project contains two distinct phases with the goal of developing the infrastructure for end-to-end environmental footprinting of food.

Released — May 2026

Phase 1 — Public-data baseline

Calculated by Eaternity from public inputs only: Open Food Facts product data plus public LCA references (Agribalyse, BAFU/UVEK, the Eaternity Database, scientific literature). It establishes a public, peer-reviewable starting line at scale.

  • 100,000 European supermarket products
  • A–E rating + CO₂ value per product
  • Per-product confidence score
  • Open dataset, open methodology, open engine
In active development

Phase 2 — Primary-data layer

Verified primary data flows into the same engine on a per-product basis, with explicit brand-client consent. Phase 2 is also where the methodology integrates into commercial and non-commercial applications.

  • Verified farm-level inputs
  • Per-product, explicit consent
  • Supply-chain-specific, auditable
  • Commercial & non-commercial applications

An EU-funded research consortium.

EOS-Ayce holds three partners with three complementary roles, each developing a different piece of the larger capability.

Eaternity

LCA methodology & calculation engine

Since 2008, building the scientific foundation for food climate scores. Methodology aligned with ISO 14040/44 and the EU Product Environmental Footprint standard. Owner of the EOS calculation engine.

inoqo

Retail-facing platform

Builds the platform that translates farm-level and LCA data produced by Klim and Eaternity into actionable sustainability insights for retailers, while enabling suppliers to easily share primary data at scale through an intuitive supply chain engagement layer.

Klim

Farm-level primary data

Europe's leading Scope 3 provider for the food sector, with 4,000+ farmers and 900,000+ hectares under an end-to-end insetting service aligned with SBTi FLAG and the GHG Protocol Land Sector guidance. Klim contributes verified, farm-level primary data in phase 2.

The May 2026 open release is issued by Eaternity on the basis of that joint work. EOS is open source at gitlab.com/eaternity/eos.

Co-funded by the European UnionEurostars

National funding bodies

InnosuisseBMBFFFG

EOS-Ayce (E!7949) is co-funded by Eurostars under the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs, with national funding from Innosuisse (CH), BMBF (DE) and FFG (AT).

Frequently Asked Questions

What this research release is, and what it isn't.

Are my products in the 100,000?
Possibly. The release is built from public Open Food Facts data. If your product appears in Open Food Facts with a barcode and reasonable label data, and the per-product confidence score cleared our quality threshold, then yes, a score for that product might be public.

The score is calculated from public inputs only. It's an estimate, not a calculation based on data the client has shared with us under their contract.

If you want to know whether a specific product is in the dataset, go to flit.eaternity.org and search by barcode or name.
Is my company's private data in this release?
No. The 100,000 release is phase 1 of the project which is a public-data baseline. The inputs are:
  • Open Food Facts product data (public, user-contributed)
  • Public LCA reference databases (Eaternity Database, Agribalyse, BAFU/UVEK, scientific literature)

No client confidential data provided to Eaternity, inoqo or Klim will be used or communicated at this stage. Anything a client has shared with Eaternity, Klim or inoqo under contract is governed by that contract and used only for the work that contract covers. It is completely separate from this research release.

Phase 2 is where primary data flows into the engine, on a per-product basis but only with your explicit consent.
The score for our product looks wrong. What do we do?
This is incredibly useful feedback for us and is why we have made this release open. We are aware that by using public data, it means we don't have perfect data. The score might be wrong due to incomplete or inaccurate source data (e.g. from user inputs on Open Food Facts) or due to the methodology used for the calculation.

We recommend you first check your product on Open Food Facts, if the ingredient list and origin fields are correct and the score still seems off, please contact our team to let them know: hello@eaternity.ch
Can we use this score on our packaging, website, or claims?
No, not as a certified claim. The 100,000 release is a research-grade open baseline calculated from public inputs. It's a useful reference, but it is not a product-specific verified score and is not designed to back a regulatory claim under the EU Green Claims Directive or CSRD.

If you would like a fully verified score that you can publish on your packaging and website, please contact:
I'm a Klim/inoqo client / a Klim farmer / asking on behalf of one. Is my data in this?
No, this is phase 1, the public-data baseline. No Klim or inoqo data is in the 100,000 release. The release is calculated by Eaternity from public inputs only.

Klim's primary data flows only into the engine in phase 2, on specific products a brand client has explicitly authorised, with Klim running the consent, the collection and the verification. Phase 2 is the layer where verified farm-level data brings the score from a public-data estimate to something supply-chain-specific and auditable.
Why are you publishing our data without our permission?
The product identifiers (e.g. barcodes, names, ingredients, origin) come from Open Food Facts, which is open public data. Anyone can access this data.

The scores are Eaternity's calculations of public information, using an open methodology. No client data, no supplier data, and no permission-gated data flows in.

A brand can absolutely engage so that the public-data estimate for their product is replaced with a primary-data calculation under their control, that's phase 2.

The overall goal of the Eurostars EOS-Ayce project is developing the infrastructure for end-to-end environmental footprinting of food.
Are CodeCheck / Open Food Facts / Yuka going to show our product's score?
Not as part of this release. We've started methodology-review conversations with all three platforms. Whether and how Eaternity scores end up in any of those apps is a separate, future conversation.

The Flit app at flit.eaternity.org is the demonstrator for how this data could be incorporated into one of these platforms.
How does this affect our ongoing engagement / contract with Eaternity?

There is no impact on our ongoing engagement. Existing contracts, confidentiality and roadmaps are unchanged. The public release is a research-track output of the Eurostars consortium.

We'd rather not be in the public dataset. Can we be removed?
The score is calculated from public Open Food Facts data, so the underlying product information is already public; removing a calculated value from our release doesn't change that. If you feel the score is inaccurate, contact our team at hello@eaternity.ch
I've reviewed your methodology and would like to discuss some aspects
Great! The release is open precisely so that researchers, regulators, retailers, brands, and other LCA practitioners can engage, review and provide feedback. Contact our team at hello@eaternity.ch

Calculated using Eaternity's EU-aligned methodology (ISO 14040/14044). Product data enriched with Open Food Facts (Open Database License). EOS calculation engine open-source at gitlab.com/eaternity/eos.
