Can you give it a little love by linking it to a parent issue, adding relevant labels and projets, creating a mockup if applicable, adding code pointers from https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/main/.github/labeler.yml, giving it a priority, editing the original issue to have a more comprehensive description… Thank you very much for your contribution to 🍊 Open Food Facts
The Eurocode 2 classification is used by researchers. In particular it is used in the Nutri-Score specification to define what counts as fruits/vegetables/legumes:
"The list of ingredients qualifying for the “Fruit, vegetables and legumes” component has been revised to include the following Eurocodes:
Vegetables groups o 8.10 (Leaf vegetables); o 8.15 (Brassicas); o 8.20 (Stalk vegetables); o 8.25 (Shoot vegetables); o 8.30 (Onion-family vegetables); o 8.38 (Root vegetables); o 8.40 (Fruit vegetables); o 8.42 (Flower-head vegetables); o 8.45 (Seed vegetables and immature pulses); o 8.50 (Edible fungi); o 8.55 (Seaweeds and algae); o 8.60 (Vegetable mixtures) Fruits groups o 9.10 (Malaceous fruit); o 9.20 (Prunus species fruit); o 9.25 (Other stone fruit); o 9.30 (Berries); o 9.40 (Citrus fruit); o 9.50 (Miscellaneous fruit); o 9.60 (Fruit mixtures). Pulses groups o 7.10 (Pulses)."
Adding Eurocodes groups in the ingredients taxonomy will ease the implementation of Nutri-Score and possibly enable other issues (e.g. for research).

Proposed implementation:
en:vegetable eurocode_2_group_1:en: 8
<en:vegetable en:root vegetable eurocode_2_group_2:en: 8.38
<en:root vegetable en:carrot eurocode_2_group_3:en: 8.38.10
It's probably a good idea to add missing group 1, 2, or 3 entries (e.g. we currently don't have a "leaf vegetable" entry for group 8.10).
