Parle Agro: version 2
Saved 2026-09-17 09:18 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled both queue items. (1) flagged: added the public-domain wordmark File:Parle_Agro_Logo.png (3000x809, from the cited Wikipedia article) to this company stub as kind logo through the images channel, where the earlier discover result had aimed it at the product and been refused. (2) prefix_inferred: 8902579 stays in gs1_prefixes_inferred because a fresh search found no source naming the licensee; About now records exactly what was searched, with new References rows gdsnpartners (GS1's GDSN trading-partner list, no hit for "Parle" or "890257"), gs1indiagtin (GS1 India GTIN Validation: contact-form service over DataKart, no public per-GTIN answer) and smartconsumer (GS1 India Smart Consumer: JavaScript shell, page-not-found for 8902579002596), plus SEC EDGAR full-text (only unrelated loan numbers) and web searches. Re-verified every existing fact today: GLEIF still ACTIVE with the same LEI, CIN, Mumbai seat and 25 December 1985 creation date (last update 30 January 2026), the Wikipedia history and the maker's own brand list and 5,500+ headcount all unchanged. Added References row gleifparent for the GLEIF ultimate-parent reporting exception (NON_CONSOLIDATING), which is why no owned_by or parent_org row is recorded. Re-read the whole barcode block instead of the earlier 30-row page and corrected the count in About: of 53 Open Food Facts packs under 8902579 on 17 September 2026, 45 name a Parle Agro brand or product, seven carry neither brand nor name, and 8902579000196 ("Parachute Coconut Hair Oil") is a miscoded contributor entry; the offblock reference URL now points at the 100-row query actually fetched. Unresolved: the licensed prefix length is not published anywhere consulted, and About says so.. Current is v4.
