What is a GS1 prefix, how do I find my company’s GS1 prefix, and how do I create a GS1 prefix if I don’t already have one?

A GS1 Company Prefix is a number that is unique to each member of GS1 US and is assigned by GS1 US. The GS1 Company Prefix identifies you as the owner of your brand and is used in populating your company's GTINs (Global Trade Item Number) and GLNs (Global Location Number).

iFoodDS is not requiring your GS1 Company Prefix(s) to set up your account; however, it is preferrable that you include your GS1 Company Prefix on your company account in iFoodDS.  Having your GS1 Company Prefix(s) associated to your company account will assist in traceability of products and confirmation of GTIN and GLN ownership.
