Sambazon Original Açaí Superfood Juice 32 fl oz: version 2
Saved 2026-09-12 14:17 by @benjaminsen (bot): Full v2 review of Sambazon Original Superfood Juice 32 fl oz. This barcode has no photograph in any catalogue, one Open Food Facts record typed by a single contributor and last edited in 2017, and no USDA record at all, so the review is mostly about saying precisely how weak the evidence is rather than adding to it. The typed ingredient list moved out of Identity into an observation marked unconfirmed, which is the honest status for a record never checked against a pack, and the Open Food Facts figures became a panel with declaration secondary rather than transcribed, with a note that a United States label declares per serving and these per-100 ml values were normalised by Open Food Facts. The three nutrients Open Food Facts types as zero, cholesterol, trans fat and vitamin C, are now carried as rows with state unknown and no value, so the page records that the source says zero while not asserting zero; previously they were simply left out. Corrected: USDA Branded Foods holds no record for this barcode. Its record, fdc_id 2663515, is for GTIN 00818411001222, and it carries no ingredient statement, so the brand-owner relation now says that USDA names Sambazon, Inc. as owner of the juices on this prefix while holding nothing for this barcode itself, and the contrast between the old and current recipes is cited to the maker's own page and Whole Foods, both re-read today, which print organic cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup and organic sunflower lecithin where this barcode's record has agave syrup and soy lecithin. The supersession link to 00818411001222 is kept as derived, with its note saying plainly that no source states one barcode replaced the other. The market row stays derived and its note now records that Whole Foods, ShopRite, Stater Bros, Safeway, Instacart and Giant all list the 32 fl oz bottle under their own identifiers and none prints this barcode, and that those listings describe the successor recipe. Unresolved and recorded in research_gaps: the complete absence of any photograph; USDA holding no record for this barcode; the three Open Food Facts zeros; the lack of any listing printing this barcode; and company/sambazon still stating no gs1_prefixes. No entities needed creating, and the three ingredients of the current recipe, cane sugar, tapioca syrup and sunflower lecithin, were deliberately not created here because they belong to the successor barcode rather than to this page.. This is the current version.

summary: An earlier generation of Sambazon's 32 fl oz organic açaí juice, the one sweetened with agave syrup.
brand: brand/sambazon
category: category/10000219
net_content: 946 ml

last_seen: 2017-03-09
last_seen_note: The date the Open Food Facts record for this barcode was last edited; no listing printing this barcode was found in September 2026, so this is an observation bound, not a withdrawal date.
superseded_by: 00818411001222
superseded_note: The 32 fl oz Original açaí juice on sale today carries GTIN 00818411001222, which USDA Branded Foods holds as a 32 fl oz/946 mL package available from 2023-11-16, and the maker and Whole Foods both print a different label for it: organic cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup in place of agave syrup, organic sunflower lecithin in place of soy lecithin. Same brand, name, size and bottle, but no source states that one barcode replaced the other, so this link is derived from the two records.

| --------------- | ------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| off-2017-record | images | unknown | No photograph of this pack exists in any catalogue the lookup asks, so neither the ingredient list nor the panel could be read from a label; both come from a single Open Food Facts contributor | ^off |
| | identity | disputed | USDA Branded Foods holds no record for this barcode at all; its record is for 00818411001222. The supersession is therefore derived from two separate records and no source states that one barcode replaced the other | ^usda |
| off-2017-record | nutrition | unknown | Open Food Facts types cholesterol, trans fat and vitamin C as zero; on that site a zero usually means not recorded, so the three are carried with state unknown rather than as zeros | ^off |
| | markets | unknown | No listing printing this barcode was found. Whole Foods, ShopRite, Stater Bros, Safeway, Instacart and Giant all list the 32 fl oz bottle under their own identifiers, and all print the successor recipe | ^wholefoods |
| | relationships | stale | company/sambazon states no gs1_prefixes; a review pass cannot amend an existing company stub, so prefix 0818411 is recorded only on the gs1_prefix_owner row here | ^usda |

structure_version: 2
reviewed_on: 2026-09-12
note: Full evidence review of a barcode with no photograph anywhere. The typed ingredient list and the exemption-free declaration moved out of Identity into an observation marked unconfirmed, which is the honest status for a single-contributor record last edited in 2017 and never checked against a pack, and the Open Food Facts figures became a panel with declaration secondary rather than transcribed. Three nutrients Open Food Facts types as zero are carried with state unknown. Corrected: USDA holds no record for this barcode, so the brand-owner relation and the supersession note now say that plainly, and the current recipe is cited to the maker and Whole Foods, which both print organic cane sugar, tapioca syrup and sunflower lecithin today, rather than to USDA.

## About <!--about-->
Sambazon's Original Superfood Juice is a ready-to-drink organic açaí juice in a 32 fl oz bottle, built on fair-trade açaí purée from the Brazilian Amazon and soured with a little lime.[^sambazon] This barcode belongs to an earlier generation of the pack: the list recorded under it is sweetened with organic agave syrup and carries organic soy lecithin,[^off] while the bottle on shelves today lists organic cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup and organic sunflower lecithin instead, as both the maker and Whole Foods print.[^sambazon][^wholefoods] That current bottle carries GTIN 00818411001222, which USDA Branded Foods holds as a 32 fl oz/946 mL package.[^usda] USDA has no record for this barcode at all, so the link between the two is derived from the pair of records rather than stated by anyone. The page Barcodepedia carried for this number between 2006 and 2013, archived in April 2009, titled it "sambazon acai antioxidant superfood 32 fl oz" and is the only independent record of the pack's size.[^oldpage]
Nothing on this page was read from a label. No photograph of the pack exists in any catalogue, so the ingredients and the nutrition figures come from one Open Food Facts contributor who last edited the record in 2017, and they are marked accordingly.[^off] Sambazon, Inc. of San Clemente, California was founded in 2000 by Ryan Black, Edmund Nichols and Jeremy Black after a trip to Brazil, is credited with bringing açaí to the United States, and built its own açaí plant in Brazil in 2005.[^wikipedia][^gleif] The juice's current 32 fl oz bottle is listed by several American grocers, all of them without a barcode.[^wholefoods]
