Source transparency
Data sources and licences
TrueNorth keeps external product identity separate from reviewed Canadian evidence and scoring.
Two data layers, kept separate
Open Food Facts may identify a product. TrueNorth Claims, Evidence, relationships, and Canadian Impact calculations are independently governed and are not Open Food Facts product data.
Open Food Facts
External catalogue names, raw brand text, package size, categories, market tags, GTIN identity, and source revision metadata may come from Open Food Facts. Those fields remain attributed to their source.

TrueNorth does not display Open Food Facts images in the public beta external-identity flow. OFF image references remain non-public provenance unless separate rights review permits use.
TrueNorth material
TrueNorth application code, independently sourced governed evidence, editorial analysis, and scoring remain separate. No new licence is asserted here for TrueNorth-owned material.
