Other Noteworthy Products

  • (see product 5000242452693 m): "Slow cooked tender prime steak in a rich gravy infused with Guiness beer, baked in a unique Holland's golden shortcrust pie" is probably the longest product name we stumbled upon
  • (see product 8901491101844 m): Two ingredients lists, one on an importer's sticker. Importer's sticker is more specific, but manufacturer's list includes an E-code for an unlisted ingredient (160b).
  • (see product 9100000819136 m) : Diabetic information in nutrition facts.
  • Veggie Aufschnitt in two flavors (see product 22148186 m)
  • (see product 4311596460434 m): Product by several producers (DE NI 010 EG and DE NI 059 EG) with different nutritions and labels (DLG 2012). Might be they changed producers, but Edeka probably sells enough units to need more than one producer at the same time.
  • (see product 4300175075589 m): Mineral water from several water sources (Noe-Quelle, Quintus-Quelle) with different nutrition values. Also only one is "Natriumarm".

Products with different ingredients in multiple languages

Additionally:

  • (see product 5449000011527 m) : Swiss Fanta has the same barcode as the French Fanta manu1400 but it looks like (the picture is blurred) that the ingredients are different
  • (see product 7612100054994 m) : Ovomaltine has the same barcode but different Nutrition Facts between FR version and IT/ES/PT version (see pictures)

Products with small item-dependent variations

Products with multiple possible sets of ingredients

  • (see product 4810268024313 m): the letter (which is to be found near the dates on the cap) is in parentheses after the ingredient.
  • (see product 4601512006724 m): same, but no comma ("или" means "or"), and there is an asterisk after the letter.

Variable nutrition data

Products whose recipe has changed

Products for which the barcode stays the same, but package, ingredients or nutritional values changed.

Since the end of 2021, we now have specific properties to list products which have been reformulated: reformulated and reformulated:description.

Products with a Nutri-Score that has improved over time

Asked a lot by journalists, we should have a couple of examples to showcase:

You can find other examples in the list of products using the reformulated:description property: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/property/reformulated:description.
