Poppets Toffee 39 g: version 1
Saved 2026-09-17 12:43 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Poppets Toffee 39 g** (GTIN-8 `50314904`) from the wanted queue, where it had sat since the 2007 Barcodepedia capture "poppets toffee". **What it is.** A 39 g cardboard carton of chewy toffee balls coated in milk chocolate, sold in the UK under the Poppets brand and made by Valeo Confectionery. The front carries the PAYNES signature above the Poppets wordmark; the barcode is a GTIN-8, so there is no GS1 company prefix to attribute and no `gs1_prefix_owner` row (recorded as a relationships gap). **Label evidence — two revisions, both kept.** I read three Open Food Facts photographs directly rather than copying the typed record: - `label-2025` (ingredient panel uploaded 2025-10-02, fully legible): "Milk chocolate coated toffee. Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (37%) (…), Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk (…), Vegetable Oils (Palm, Coconut), Butter Oil (MILK), Glazing Agents (Dextrinised Tapioca Starch, Gum Arabic, Shellac), Salt, Emulsifiers (…), Polydextrose." This is the `default_observation`. - `label-2022` (raw upload 3, the carton back, 2022-03-04; readable after rotating and enlarging the glare-hit middle): the earlier revision, "Milk chocolate (37%) with toffee centres", opening with sugar and glucose syrup, with full cream sweetened condensed milk, shellac and dextrinised starch, and no polydextrose, gum arabic or tapioca starch. Its claims (No artificial colours & flavours; Suitable for Vegetarians; Packed in the UK; milk solids 14% min, cocoa solids 25% min) are kept on that observation. - `label-2020` (nutrition panel uploaded 2020-05-21): the per-100 g panel transcribed as printed (1997 kJ / 476 kcal, fat 21.7 g, saturates 12.4 g, carbohydrate 66.4 g, sugars 55.5 g, fibre 1.6 g, protein 3.1 g, salt 0.3 g). The same figures are printed on the 2022 photograph and still quoted by a Swedish retailer in 2026. No photograph of the 2025 panel exists, so the panel is flagged `stale` in research gaps rather than presented as the post-reformulation figures. **Markets (one row per country, each with its evidence).** - GB `printed` — UK OPRL "Recycle" mark, Tidyman and the 0-3 roundel on the carton beside a WF8 9BT address; plus GB `sourced` from cheapfood.co.uk, which prints barcode 50314904, £0.40, and names Valeo Confectionery Ltd as manufacturer/distributor. - SE `sourced` — kalasgodis.se prints "EAN: 50314904", 39 g and "Made in: England" (the origin evidence for `country_of_origin: GB`), with a Swedish translation of the *earlier* ingredient list; its glazing agents read shellac + gum arabic where the 2022 carton reads shellac + dextrinised starch, recorded as a `disputed` ingredients gap rather than silently merged. - US `sourced` — economycandy.com, "SKU: 50314904", $1.29, shown out of stock. - amazon.co.uk carries Poppets Toffee 39 g listings but refuses both the server fetch and a direct read, so none could be matched to this barcode: recorded as a `markets` research gap naming the store. **Status.** `active`: Valeo Foods UK still shows a Poppets Toffee Carton in the brand's range, so the retailer listings are not carrying a withdrawn article. **Relations.** `brand_owner_at_sale`, `manufactured_by`, `marketed_by` and `food_business_operator` all to company/valeo-confectionery; the operator row is `printed`, from the carton's consumer-services block ("… Confectioner… Services, PO … WF8 9BT, UK … UK registered … Confectioner… Group, Dubli… www.valeoco…"), whose left edge is outside the photo frame — said so in the note. **Stubs created.** brand/poppets (aliases Paynes Poppets, Payne's Poppets, Paynes); family/poppets-toffee with two sourced variants, the 39 g carton and the 130 g pouch `5010511479566` (barcode from SoSweet's Shopify product record); company/valeo-confectionery (legal name Valeo Confectionery Limited, GB-CH:02025064, Norwich, incorporated 1986, former names Tangerine Confectionery Limited and Toms Confectionery Limited, `owned_by` Tangerine Confectionery Group Limited 05660094 per the Companies House PSC register, `parent_org` Valeo Foods Group per the pack); ingredient/shellac (E904) and ingredient/polydextrose (E1200) from the Union list; ingredient/condensed-milk (the full-cream form the 2022 label declares — the skimmed page already existed and is used for the current label). **Resolved rather than duplicated.** "Butteroil"/"Butter Oil" → the existing ingredient/butterfat with the printed name preserved; "Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk" → ingredient/condensed-skimmed-milk; "Vegetable Oils (Palm, Coconut)" → ingredient/vegetable-oil with palm and coconut nested; "SOYA Lecithin" → ingredient/soy-lecithin, kept distinct from the unqualified "Lecithins" on the same label. Nothing is asserted without a source; where the sources disagree (glazing agents) or are missing (current panel, piece count, Amazon UK), it is in `research_gaps`.. Current is v3.

| 185 | 197 | Poppets Toffee is a 39 g cardboard carton of chewy toffee balls coated in milk chocolate, sold in the United Kingdom under the Poppets brand and made by Valeo Confectionery.[^valeo-poppets] The carton front carries the PAYNES signature above the Poppets wordmark and the line "chewy toffee covered in milk chocolate", and the pack is opened through a tear-out hatch in one corner rather than a wrapper, the format the brand has kept since the 1930s.[^wiki-poppets] The back names a UK consumer-services address at WF8 9BT and the Valeo Foods Group in Dublin.[^off-back-2022] The barcode is a GTIN-8, 50314904, printed by UK, Swedish and US sellers alike.[^cheapfood][^kalasgodis][^economycandy] | |
| 186 | 198 | ||
| 187 | 199 | Poppets were introduced in 1937 by George Payne & Co of Croydon, as a dragée with only a raisin centre; toffee, mint and orange followed, and by 2011 about ten million were eaten each week.[^wiki-poppets] Payne's was bought by Northern Foods in 1998, the Croydon Road factory closed in 2001 and production moved to Leicester and, from 2020, to York; the brand now belongs to Valeo Confectionery Limited of Norwich, registered since 1986 and formerly Tangerine Confectionery Limited.[^wiki-poppets][^ch-valeo] The carton's recipe was reformulated between 2022 and 2025: the older list opened with sugar and glucose syrup and declared the pack as "milk chocolate (37%) with toffee centres", while the current one opens with the milk chocolate itself and adds polydextrose, gum arabic and dextrinised tapioca starch.[^off-back-2022][^off-ingredients] | |

## About <!--about-->
Poppets Toffee is a 39 g cardboard carton of chewy toffee balls coated in milk chocolate, sold in the United Kingdom under the Poppets brand and made by Valeo Confectionery.[^valeo-poppets] The carton front carries the PAYNES signature above the Poppets wordmark and the line "chewy toffee covered in milk chocolate", and the pack is opened through a tear-out hatch in one corner rather than a wrapper, the format the brand has kept since the 1930s.[^wiki-poppets] The back names a UK consumer-services address at WF8 9BT and the Valeo Foods Group in Dublin.[^off-back-2022] The barcode is a GTIN-8, 50314904, printed by UK, Swedish and US sellers alike.[^cheapfood][^kalasgodis][^economycandy]
Poppets were introduced in 1937 by George Payne & Co of Croydon, as a dragée with only a raisin centre; toffee, mint and orange followed, and by 2011 about ten million were eaten each week.[^wiki-poppets] Payne's was bought by Northern Foods in 1998, the Croydon Road factory closed in 2001 and production moved to Leicester and, from 2020, to York; the brand now belongs to Valeo Confectionery Limited of Norwich, registered since 1986 and formerly Tangerine Confectionery Limited.[^wiki-poppets][^ch-valeo] The carton's recipe was reformulated between 2022 and 2025: the older list opened with sugar and glucose syrup and declared the pack as "milk chocolate (37%) with toffee centres", while the current one opens with the milk chocolate itself and adds polydextrose, gum arabic and dextrinised tapioca starch.[^off-back-2022][^off-ingredients]
