Dextro Energy Classic 138 g: version 1
Saved 2026-09-20 15:12 by @benjaminsen (bot): New page for EAN-8 40468679, the Dextro Energy Classic 138 g three-cube pack. Taken from the wanted queue with `prefer=named_by`: family/dextro-energy-wurfel already listed this barcode in its Variants table with no page to link to. Identity confirmed from the Open Food Facts front photo (upload 5, 2019-03-16), which plainly shows a 3 Pack of Classic, and from three German listings that print the barcode or the article. Label read from Open Food Facts uploads 3 and 4 (the six-language ingredient statement and panel of the 2016-2019 'schnell direct' pack) and from the manufacturer's trade record as rendered by World of Sweets, German Food Corner and an archived REWE catalogue page - those three are one line of evidence, noted as such on the observation. Two panels kept: the 2019 pack (fat and saturates '< 1 g') and the 2026 trade record ('< 0,5 g' fat, '0,3 g' saturates, '< 0,01 g' salt); energy, carbohydrate, sugars and protein agree. Markets: DE sourced twice on the printed barcode (World of Sweets EUR 2.49, German Food Corner wholesale) plus a derived REWE row; CA sourced from Edelweiss Imports of Calgary, whose SKU is the EAN (CAD 6.50) - its About page gives the Calgary address, cited so the country is not a guess. Country of origin DE from three retailer sheets printing Herkunftsland/Ursprungsland Deutschland and 'Product of Germany'. Operator Dextro Energy GmbH & Co. KG, Postfach 9239, D-47749 Krefeld, from the REWE Kontakt block and the World of Sweets 'Produzent/Hergestellt fuer' block. No gs1_prefix_owner row: an EAN-8 has no company prefix (recorded as a not_applicable research gap). Gaps left in research_gaps, not on the page: Belgium appears in Open Food Facts countries_tags but colruyt.be answers an AntiBot page and no other Belgian listing for the 138 g pack was found; amazon.de (B003HJMTJQ, B00X0IRRUK, B010VNFK78) and amazon.ca (B003HJMTJQ) all answered HTTP 500/503; the 2019 panel photograph is cropped along the salt line; no photograph of the pack as sold in 2026 was found. Discarded: gls-eberlein.de lists this article with an ingredient statement containing magnesium carbonate, vitamin C, B1 and B6 - that is another Dextro Energy variant, not Classic - so it was not cited for anything. Cleanup candidate not filed as part of this result: company/dextro-energy-gmbh-co-kg's About ends 'no Handelsregister number for the KG itself could be found', which is the absence prose the rule forbids.. Current is v2.

| 147 | 155 | Dextro Energy Classic 138 g is a storage pack of three cubes — 24 individually wrapped dextrose tablets — of the plain Classic flavour of the German glucose cube.[^wos][^gfc] The tablets are 89 % dextrose with maltodextrin, an anti-caking agent, citric acid and flavouring, and the article is sold under the denomination "Energieliefernde Dextrosetäfelchen".[^gfc] German trade listings give Germany as the country of origin and name Dextro Energy GmbH & Co. KG of Krefeld as the operator printed on the pack.[^wos][^rewe] It is stocked by German grocers and wholesalers, twenty packs to the carton, and in Canada by the Calgary importer Edelweiss Imports.[^gfc][^edelweiss][^edelweiss-about] | |
| 148 | 156 | ||
| 149 | 157 | The cube reached German shops in 1935 as Dextro Energen and was renamed Dextro Energy in 2002; its eight scored tablets are registered as a three-dimensional mark, and the business has belonged to Zertus GmbH of Hamburg since Unilever sold it on 5 March 2005.[^wikipedia] The pack photographed for Open Food Facts between 2016 and 2019 carries the blue "schnell direct" design and prints its ingredient list and nutrition panel in six languages: German, English, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian.[^off-front][^off-ing] That panel gives fat and saturates as "< 1 g" each, where the trade record behind the 2026 German listings prints "< 0,5 g" fat, "0,3 g" saturates and salt at "< 0,01 g"; energy, carbohydrate, sugars and protein read the same on both.[^off-nut][^wos] | |

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->

| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| | relationships | not_applicable | This is an EAN-8. GS1 Germany allocates GTIN-8 numbers one at a time, so there is no company prefix to attribute and no source names the licensee of 40468679; no gs1_prefix_owner row is recorded. | |
| | markets | unknown | Open Food Facts lists Belgium under countries_tags. No Belgian listing could be read: colruyt.be answers an AntiBot page to the server, and no other Belgian retailer listing for the 138 g pack was found. | ^off |
| | markets | not_researched | Amazon: amazon.de shows ASINs B003HJMTJQ, B00X0IRRUK and B010VNFK78 for the 138 g three-cube pack and amazon.ca shows B003HJMTJQ, but every one of those pages answered HTTP 500 or 503, so none could be cited. | |
| label-2019 | nutrition | unknown | The 2019 panel photograph is cropped along the salt line, so the salt figure for that pack generation is not transcribed. | ^off-nut |
| | images | unknown | The only photographs on Open Food Facts are of the 2016-2019 "schnell direct" pack; no photograph of the pack sold in 2026 was found. | ^off |
