Vittel Natural Mineral Water 2 l: version 1
Saved 2026-09-14 03:42 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Vittel Natural Mineral Water 2 l** (EAN 3179732353511), a wanted barcode the 2008 Barcodepedia titled "vittel 2l". - **Identity** was confirmed from the Open Food Facts back-label photo of 2015-07-02, which shows the barcode 3 179732 353511. The lookup reported no conflict and only OFF holds the barcode. Brand is the existing brand/vittel. Category is GPC 10000232 (Packaged Water - Unflavoured). - **Relations:** brand owner is Nestlé (Wikipedia). N.W.S. Est at Vittel is the source operator, printed on the pack. Nestlé Waters Deutschland is the distributor for DE, printed as "Vertrieb: Nestlé Waters Deutschland AG, 55130 Mainz". The gs1_prefix_owner edge points at Nestlé Waters Supply Est with status derived, because no source names the registrant. - **Markets:** DE only, status printed. Evidence: the German distributor, the DPG single-use deposit logo, the 0,25 € deposit and a D Info-Service line. OFF's France country tag is contradicted by the German-only labels, so it goes in research_gaps as disputed. - **Structure v2:** four label observations (2015, 2018, 2019, 2021). The Bonne Source analysis panel (Ca 94, Mg 20, Na 7.7, HCO3 248, SO4 120, dry residue 400 mg/l) was transcribed from both the 2015 and 2018 photos. Ingredients and nutrition are declared exempt under Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Articles 19(1)(e) and 29(1)(b). The file also has label claims (low-sodium suitability, a hydration statement, MaxiGrip) and a PET 01 specification. - **New stub** company/nestle-waters-deutschland: Frankfurt HRB 103666, EUID DEM1201.HRB103666, former Mainz registrations, and its shareholder Nestlé Unternehmungen Deutschland GmbH (North Data). - **Unresolved:** no retailer listing printing this barcode was found, there is no evidence after 2021, the GS1 licensee is unknown, and the date of the AG-to-GmbH conversion was not read from a register.. Current is v2.

| 128 | 137 | Vittel Natural Mineral Water 2 l is a still natural mineral water in a two-litre single-use PET bottle, labelled in German for Germany.[^photo-2015-back][^photo-2021] Its label names the Bonne Source at Vittel in the French Vosges as the spring, N.W.S. Est at Vittel as the source operator and Nestlé Waters Deutschland as the German distributor.[^photo-2015-back] Vittel water has been bottled since 1854, and the brand has belonged to Nestlé since 1992.[^wikipedia-vittel] The Bonne Source analysis printed on this bottle is far lighter in calcium and sulphate than the Grande Source analysis on French Vittel bottles, and the label says the water suits a low-sodium diet.[^photo-2018][^grande-source-50cl] As a single-ingredient natural mineral water it carries no ingredient list or nutrition table.[^fic19][^fic29] | |

| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
| | markets | unknown | No retailer listing that prints this barcode was found; the one German drinks shop listing Vittel PET prints no barcode or size match. DE rests on the printed German distributor, deposit logo and deposit amount | ^photo-2015-back |

| | relationships | unknown | The date Nestlé Waters Deutschland AG became a GmbH and moved from Mainz to Frankfurt was not read from a register publication; the register page only lists the three registrations | ^northdata |

## About <!--about-->
Vittel Natural Mineral Water 2 l is a still natural mineral water in a two-litre single-use PET bottle, labelled in German for Germany.[^photo-2015-back][^photo-2021] Its label names the Bonne Source at Vittel in the French Vosges as the spring, N.W.S. Est at Vittel as the source operator and Nestlé Waters Deutschland as the German distributor.[^photo-2015-back] Vittel water has been bottled since 1854, and the brand has belonged to Nestlé since 1992.[^wikipedia-vittel] The Bonne Source analysis printed on this bottle is far lighter in calcium and sulphate than the Grande Source analysis on French Vittel bottles, and the label says the water suits a low-sodium diet.[^photo-2018][^grande-source-50cl] As a single-ingredient natural mineral water it carries no ingredient list or nutrition table.[^fic19][^fic29]
Photos show a MaxiGrip label in 2015, a "Ville Thermale" redesign by 2019 and the 0,25 € deposit printed in 2021.[^photo-2015-front][^photo-2019][^photo-2021] The original Barcodepedia listed this barcode as "Vittel 2l" in 2008.[^oldpage]
