note: New page. The label was transcribed from the Open Food Facts raw uploads of 2018-05-12, 2019-01-09 and 2021-06-03, which agree; the Olial data sheet and the archived 2008 Barcodepedia entry are kept as unconfirmed observations because their ingredient lists differ from the photographed label.

## About <!--about-->
Gut & Günstig Cola Light is a sugar-free, low-calorie caffeinated cola sold in a 1.5-litre single-use PET deposit bottle under Gut & Günstig, the own-label brand of the German grocery group EDEKA.[^edeka-verbund][^photo-2018-side] It is made with natural mineral water and sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame K, with caramel colour E150d, phosphoric acid, trisodium citrate and caffeine, and prints 1 kJ per 100 ml.[^photo-2018-panel] The pack names EDEKA ZENTRALE in Hamburg as operator and carried German Agricultural Society gold award seals for 2017 and 2018.[^photo-2018-side][^photo-2019-seal] An online grocer's data sheet gives Germany as the place of origin, the only source for the country of origin here.[^olial]

Photos from 2018, 2019 and 2021 show the same ingredient list and panel.[^photo-2021-panel] A 2008 Barcodepedia entry recorded an older recipe with sodium cyclamate, citric acid and gum arabic.[^barcodepedia-2008]
