Monster Energy Original 16 fl oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-27 03:36 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Monster Energy Original 16 fl oz** (UPC 0 70847 81116 9), a wanted row from the old site. - Identity was confirmed by the barcode on the Open Food Facts photos (imgid 16), Target (UPC 070847811169, TCIN 12953443) and Amazon.com ASIN B0025MSDR8, which prints the UPC. USDA fdc 492443 and Open Food Facts agree. - Two label observations were transcribed from Open Food Facts photos (CC BY-SA). **us-2025** (© 2025, imgid 9/13/15) has one serving of 1 can: 230 kcal, 58 g carbohydrate, 54 g added sugars and B-vitamin %DV of 260/250/240/500. **us-2017** (© 2017, imgid 3, photographed 2019-03-11) has an 8 fl oz column and a per-can column: 110 and 210 kcal. Both labels have the same ingredient list and 160 mg caffeine per can. - The Open Food Facts photo selected as "nutrition" (imgid 17) is a front shot. off_images posts front 14 and nutrition/ingredients 9. - Relations: printed "Manufactured for Monster Energy Company, Corona CA". The gs1_prefix_owner is derived from the USDA brand_owner. No prefix is written to a company because the 0070847 block mixes brands that changed owners (Hansen's, Peace Tea, Hubert's). - Markets: US. Target is sourced at USD 2.69. The Amazon.com listing is sourced but has no price, because its USD 25.05 appears to be for a multipack. The USDA record is a derived row. - New stubs: brand/monster-energy, company/monster-energy-company (a Delaware subsidiary per the SEC 10-K Exhibit 21 for 2023), company/monster-beverage-corporation (Wikipedia) and ingredient/l-carnitine-l-tartrate. - Gaps: the prefix holder, the filler, the metric volume on the front and a single-can Amazon price. . Current is v2.
