Our GDSN Initiative

We are proud to announce that Menu Freedom has joined GDSN via 1WorldSync as their GS1 Certified Data Pool. Our goal is to optimize our data ingestion by leveraging the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) and its proven efficiencies. We will now be able to house all items in one location and leverage global standards. All updates performed on existing items, within GDSN, will automatically flow over to Menu Freedom allowing for real-time updates of supplier product content.

GDSN will help ensure Menu Freedom has quality, accurate, and up to date information on all items to ensure our menu content is current. Our customers are becoming more and more data-driven. Having the latest and most complete item content is the best way to represent any brand to potential buyers.

Participation in this initiative allows Menu Freedom to offer your products to nutrition professionals nationwide, therefore increasing your product visibility, and giving them the option to use your products in their menu planning and influence purchasing decisions.
