Deployed somewhere ? #1

Hello, Pierre from Open Food Facts, I was curious as whether you had deployed your app somewhere, and where you found the Monsanto list :-)

Hello @teolemon !

I didn't deploy my app, I made it just for "fun".

I found many lists of brands owned by Monsanto or using Monsanto product (https://feast.media/food-brands-owned-by-monsanto, https://www.bioalaune.com/fr/actualite-bio/10502/monsanto-produits-boycotter,...). They are all based on a relatively old Greenpeace reports about GMO and Monsanto Products. They might not be very relevant as of today... (but it was just to have a "base" for my app).

Greenpeace published a more recent report, but it would require much more work to extract the data (maybe one day). There is also a frequently update website about bee killer pesticides and GMO.

But still, all these infos are given by Greenpeace, so it might not be considered as a "relevant source"...

Thanks, I joined the OFF Slack 👍 Very interesting project!
