Food Codes

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has turned on the alpha of their data standards, reference data and code repository built on the open source registry software that we helped build.

This has gone live with a mixture of simple and complex code lists. For example the Food Type Coding based upon Foodex2.0. The Food Types registers provide a web-accessible copy of the FoodEx2 standardised food classification and description system from the European Food Standards Agency. Helping the FSA to code the data in their reporting data in URI form.

The team

Last week we said goodbye for a short-while to Mihajlo one of our summer interns who’s planning the next phase of his University of Bristol course. Mihajlo has been working on some visualisation projects with us and has blogged about his work. For example see the myRivers post.

Max has joined the team after completing a summer with us also as one of our fantastic interns. Max has also been working through the summer on interesting projects (see for example visualisations post). Max joins the developer team supporting both internal and client projects.

We’ve also welcomed Lizzie Scuffell who’s working with us in supporting work we are doing with the Food Standards Agency. Hopefully, we’l be sharing more about soon.

We are growing Epimorphics and hope to be saying more soon about the great opportunities to join our team. We will be saying more at: epimorphics.com/careers/
