| | relationships | not_applicable | This is an EAN-8. GS1 Germany allocates GTIN-8 numbers one at a time rather than out of a company prefix, so there is no prefix to attribute and no gs1_prefix_owner row. | |
| | identity | unknown | Net content: the photographed label crops of this barcode do not show the volume, and Open Food Facts records the quantity as "1pcs". MEG fills Saskia Classic in 1,5 l and 0,5 l bottles; on Open Food Facts the neighbouring Saskia numbers 42376156, 42376163, 42376187 and 42376194 are 0,5 l and 42376057 and 42376064 are 1,5 l. | ^meg-water |

## About <!--about-->
Saskia is the own-label mineral water of the German discounter Lidl, and this one-way PET bottle is the carbonated Classic sort from the Löningen spring in Lower Saxony.[^lidl-saskia][^off-front-2020] The front band reads "CLASSIC mit Kohlensäure", and the label states that the water suits a low-sodium diet; with 14,9 mg sodium, 29,2 mg calcium and 32,1 mg hydrogen carbonate per litre it is a very lightly mineralised water.[^off-front-2021][^off-analysis-2020][^off-analysis-2021] It is filled by MEG Weißenfels, which bottles Saskia for Lidl at five German spring sites and names Löningen among them; the 2020 back label printed the company's earlier name, Mitteldeutsche Erfrischungsgetränke, at its Langendorfer Straße address in Weißenfels.[^meg-water][^off-back-2020]
Photographs from 2020 and 2021 show two label generations. The 2020 silver label carried the DLG "Jährlich prämiert" medal and a five-figure analysis with 12,8 mg sodium per litre; the 2021 label lists eight ions with higher sodium, calcium and chloride figures.[^off-front-2020][^off-analysis-2020][^off-analysis-2021] MEG's composition sheet for the spring, dated December 2021, matches the 2021 label and adds a total mineralisation of 162 mg/l, a pH of 6,5 and a hardness of 4,8 °dH.[^meg-loeningen]
