Skittles Original Bite Size Candies 61 g: version 1
Saved 2026-09-14 00:53 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Skittles Original Bite Size Candies 61 g** (0058496829605) from the wanted list (old title "skittles original 61g"). - Identity checked: the Open Food Facts record and every photo show this barcode on a Canadian 61 g Skittles Original bag. USDA, Wikidata, MusicBrainz and Open Library have no record, and the lookup reports no conflict. - Two label revisions, read from dated OFF photos rather than typed values: - **2023** (imgid 8/9/10): 15-item list naming each colour, simplified per-package table with sodium 10 mg, importer Mars Canada Inc. (partly cropped). - **Earlier** (2016/2019/2020 photos): "colours (with tartrazine)", sodium 20 mg, trans fat 0.1 g, importer Wrigley Canada, Toronto, trademark of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, gluten-free and gelatin-free claims. - Relations: brand owner is the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (pack plus Wikipedia). Importers: Mars Canada (2023) and Wrigley Canada (earlier, ended). The GS1 prefix owner is Mars Canada, `derived`, because no source names the registrant. - Markets: CA is printed on the pack and listed by the wholesaler Hyde's Distribution with the GTIN as SKU. Metro and Jean Coutu are walled (403). - New stubs: brand/skittles, company/wrigley-canada (Corporations Canada 646041; merged into Mars Canada in 2018 per the Cision release), ingredient/hydrogenated-palm-kernel-oil and ingredient/tapioca-dextrin. Existing mars-canada, wm-wrigley-jr-company and ingredient entities are reused. - Gaps: no manufacturer or country of origin on any photo, 2023 table only partly visible, no retail price.. Current is v2.

| 154 | 162 | Skittles Original is the 61 g single bag of the fruit-flavoured Skittles candies sold in Canada, labelled in English and French as "Bite Size Candies / En bouchées".[^off-2023][^off-2016] Skittles is a brand of the Wrigley Company, a division of Mars, and appears on Mars Canada's brand list.[^wp-skittles][^mars-ca-brands] The 2023 pack names Mars Canada Inc. as importer, while earlier packs named Wrigley Canada of Toronto and the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company as trademark owner.[^off-2023][^off-back-2019] The newer ingredient list names each of seven colours where the older one read "colours (with tartrazine)".[^off-2023][^off-back-2019] | |
| 155 | 163 | ||
| 156 | 164 | Skittles were introduced in 1971 by Jack Candies, a British distributor for Mars, and Mars' Wrigley division took over the brand in 2008.[^wp-skittles] In January 2018 Wrigley Canada and Mars Chocolate began operating as one business, Mars Wrigley Confectionery, part of Mars Canada Inc.[^newswire-2018] The barcode already had a page on the 2006-2013 Barcodepedia, titled "Skittles (original) - 61g".[^old-bp] It is still listed by a Canadian wholesaler.[^hydes] | |
