Vittel Natural Mineral Water 500 ml: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 16:31 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Vittel Natural Mineral Water 500 ml** (GTIN 03048431001958), a wanted row whose old title was "eau minrale vitel", plus stubs brand/vittel, company/nestle-waters-supply-est and company/nestle. - **Identity** is confirmed from Open Food Facts photos: the barcode 3 048431 001958 is printed on the 2012 and 2023 photos. Name, brand, 500 ml and category 10000232 (Packaged Water - Unflavoured). - **Mineral analyses** are transcribed from label photos, not the typed record. The current analysis (2017 strip and 2018 legal panel): Ca 240, Mg 42, Na 5.2, SO4 400, NO3 4.4, HCO3 384, dry residue 1084 mg/L. An earlier analysis photographed in 2012: Ca 203.8, Mg 43.1, Na 5, SO4 328.9, NO3 4.3, HCO3 399, residue 844. Both are kept as separate observations. Ingredient list and nutrition declaration are recorded as exempt, citing Regulation 1169/2011 Articles 19 and 29. - **Relations:** bottled_by N.W.S. Est (printed "Source / Bron: GRANDE SOURCE - N.W.S. Est - 88805 VITTEL"), backed by SIREN 479464166 with an establishment on Avenue des Thermes, Vittel. brand_owner_at_sale is Nestlé since 1992 (Wikipedia). gs1_prefix_owner is derived; no source names the licensee, and no prefix length was guessed. - **Markets:** FR printed (Info-tri badge marked FR, plus the Vittel France consumer service line). BE sourced (the Thysshop listing prints the GTIN, and the server check says "listing"). NL printed (Nestlé Consumentenservice Nederland line). - **Left out, recorded as research gaps:** LU (only a BeLux phone line), and Russia (a 2025 import sticker with the EAC mark, but the importer was not photographed). Also no source found for Nestlé owning Nestle Waters Supply Est, and no date for the analysis change. - **Not usable:** Pomona data sheet (403), Intermarché (502), noveoburo (empty body), direct-fournitures (404, and a 24-pack).. Current is v2.

| 134 | 141 | Vittel Natural Mineral Water 500 ml is a still natural mineral water in a 50 cl plastic bottle with a French and Dutch label.[^photo-2018] The label names its spring as the Grande Source at Vittel, France, and its bottler as N.W.S. Est. That is Nestlé Waters Supply Est, whose Vittel establishment on Avenue des Thermes is registered for mineral water production.[^photo-2018][^siren] Vittel water has been bottled since 1854, and the brand has belonged to the Swiss group Nestlé since 1992.[^wikipedia-vittel] The analysis printed in 2017 and 2018 shows much more calcium and sulphate than the one photographed in 2012, so both analyses are kept.[^photo-2017][^photo-2012] A Belgian drinks shop lists this barcode.[^thysshop] | |
| 135 | 142 | ||
| 136 | 143 | The original Barcodepedia already had a page for this barcode, titled "Eau Minérale Vitel" (50cl), in a capture from July 2009.[^oldpage] A 2025 photograph shows a Russian-language import sticker on the same bottle.[^photo-2025-analysis] | |

## About <!--about-->
Vittel Natural Mineral Water 500 ml is a still natural mineral water in a 50 cl plastic bottle with a French and Dutch label.[^photo-2018] The label names its spring as the Grande Source at Vittel, France, and its bottler as N.W.S. Est. That is Nestlé Waters Supply Est, whose Vittel establishment on Avenue des Thermes is registered for mineral water production.[^photo-2018][^siren] Vittel water has been bottled since 1854, and the brand has belonged to the Swiss group Nestlé since 1992.[^wikipedia-vittel] The analysis printed in 2017 and 2018 shows much more calcium and sulphate than the one photographed in 2012, so both analyses are kept.[^photo-2017][^photo-2012] A Belgian drinks shop lists this barcode.[^thysshop]
The original Barcodepedia already had a page for this barcode, titled "Eau Minérale Vitel" (50cl), in a capture from July 2009.[^oldpage] A 2025 photograph shows a Russian-language import sticker on the same bottle.[^photo-2025-analysis]
