Absolutely. Today, there is no database on Swiss food products that is truly open, free, and - perhaps most importantly - programmatically accessible via an API). - Swiss products http://world.openfoodfacts.org/country/switzerland http://world.openfoodfacts.org/country/switzerland - API http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data http://world.openfoodfacts.org/data Granted, Open Food Facts needs some design improvements. But why work on a Swiss-only system with nice design when there is a way bigger and more established platform already in place.
