36		−	Cloetta UK Limited is the British company of the Cloetta confectionery group, registered at Fort Southwick, Fareham, and classed as a wholesaler of sugar confectionery.[^ch-cloetta-uk] It was incorporated in 1983 as Just Sweets Limited and renamed Candyking UK Limited in 2004 and Cloetta UK Limited in 2019.[^ch-cloetta-uk] Cloetta bought Candyking in 2017.[^wiki-cloetta] Companies House lists Cloetta Sverige AB as its controlling shareholder from 1 October 2025. Earlier notices named Candyking Holding AB and E Out Instrument AB.[^ch-psc] Bestway's data sheet for Chewits Strawberry gives Cloetta UK as the manufacturer's address. The GS1 prefix 5010933 is attributed here as derived, because no source names its registrant.[^bestway]
	46	+	Cloetta UK Limited is the British company of the Cloetta confectionery group, registered at Fort Southwick, James Callaghan Drive, Fareham, and classed by Companies House as a wholesaler of sugar and chocolate confectionery.[^ch-cloetta-uk] It gives that address as Cloetta UK Ltd on its own site.[^cloetta-uk-site] Incorporated on 25 May 1983 as Just Sweets Limited, it became Candyking UK Limited in 2004 and Cloetta UK Limited in 2019.[^ch-cloetta-uk] Companies House names Cloetta Sverige AB as its controlling shareholder from 1 October 2025, after notices for Candyking Holding AB and E Out Instrument AB and a statement of no registrable person that stood from 2021 to 2025; the Relations rows carry those dates.[^ch-psc] Cloetta announced its merger with Leaf in December 2011 and bought Candyking in 2017.[^wiki-cloetta]
	47	+
	48	+	GS1 prefix 5010933 stays inferred after a search on 14 September 2026: the public GEPIR GTIN search now redirects to Verified by GS1, whose result pages refuse automated requests, GS1 UK publishes no prefix lookup,[^gs1-vbg] and web searches for the prefix name no holder. The basis for the inference is Bestway's data sheet, which gives Cloetta UK Ltd as the manufacturer's address for Chewits Strawberry 5010933011207.[^bestway] Two facts argue for caution: current Chewits articles also carry the newer GS1 UK prefix 5060072[^off-chewits-xtreme] and Candyking pick-and-mix carries 5060212,[^off-candyking] and 5010933 predates Cloetta's ownership of the brand, since UK Chewits production ended in 2006 and Chewits reached Cloetta through Leaf.[^wiki-chewits]
