41		−	GS1 prefix 6415600 is recorded as inferred rather than sourced: no public register names the licensee, but Metro-tukku files this barcode under supplier Oy Sinebrychoff Ab and every Karhu article seen, from the 0,33 l can to the 24-can case and the quarter pallet, carries the same prefix.[^metro]
	55	+	GS1 company prefix 641560 is now sourced rather than inferred. GS1 Finland's own list of Synkka data suppliers records Sinebrychoff Oy Ab, business ID 0113951-4, under GLN 6415609999992, a number only a six-digit Sinebrychoff prefix can hold together with its 6415600 consumer barcodes.[^gs1fi] The list numbers other members the same way: Valio's GLN is 6408439999997 against packs running 6408430 to 6408432, and Fazer Makeiset's is 6411409999996 against packs at 6411401, 6411402 and 6411404.[^offvalio][^offfazer] All 141 Open Food Facts records under 641560 begin 6415600 and carry Sinebrychoff's own brands, among them Koff, Karhu, Battery, Crowmoor and Somersby, or its licensed Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite bottlings.[^offsbx] Metro-tukku files the Karhu barcode 6415600000352 under supplier Oy Sinebrychoff Ab.[^metro] No licensee register named the holder: Verified by GS1 and GEPIR are closed to servers, the company's own site publishes only its OVT e-invoicing address 003701139514, and web searches for the bare prefix digits returned only barcode explainers.
