| brand_owner_at_sale | company/gsk | | | 2013-09 | true | sourced | ^wikipedia | GlaxoSmithKline owned Lucozade until it sold the brand to Suntory in September 2013; the 2006 and 2011 records of this barcode both fall inside that period. |
| gs1_prefix_owner | company/gsk | | | | | derived | ^wikipedia | Prefix 5000134 (GS1 UK, 500-509). No company stub states the prefix and no public register names its licensee; GlaxoSmithKline owned the Lucozade brand while this barcode was in use, so it is the derived registrant. Nothing was written to the company's gs1_prefixes. |

| ES | derived | ^off | The only market evidence is the photograph on the Open Food Facts record for this barcode: bottles of Lucozade Energy Original standing on a shop shelf behind a 3,00 EUR shelf tag, uploaded in June 2023 and tagged Spain by the contributor. The tag's text is too blurred to transcribe and a contributor's country tag is not a source, so the country is derived from the euro price together with that claim; no listing printing this GTIN was found. | 2023-06-22 | | | EUR 3.00 |

| old-site-2006 | Old Barcodepedia entry, captured November 2006 | label | | en | | | 2006-11-01 | unconfirmed | carbonated water, glucose syrup, citric acid, lactic acid, flavourings (inc. caffeine), sodium benzoate (preservative), sodium bisulphite (preservative), ascorbic acid (antioxidant), sunset yellow (colouring agent) | listed | | ^oldsite | What the 2006-2013 Barcodepedia said about this barcode: a contributor typed the list and the container line from a bottle, and no label photograph survives to check it against. Held as unconfirmed for that reason, and superseded for the current recipe by Lucozade's 2017 and 2023 reformulations. | 1 l | | | plastic bottle | |
| off-shelf-2023 | Open Food Facts record and shelf photograph, June 2023 | label | ES | | | | 2023-06-22 | unconfirmed | | | | ^off | A single contributor created the record, typed the name "Lucozade original 900ml" and uploaded one photograph: bottles of Lucozade Energy Original on a shop shelf behind a euro price tag. The bottle fronts read Lucozade Energy Original and nothing else is legible, so the 900 ml net content is the contributor's figure and conflicts with the 1 litre recorded for this barcode in 2006 and 2011. | 900 ml | | | PET bottle | |

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ------------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| | identity | disputed | Net content: the 2006 Barcodepedia entry and a 2011 UPC Database entry both give 1 litre for this barcode, while the 2023 Open Food Facts record types 900 ml. Lucozade's litre bottle was replaced by a 900 ml bottle, and a net-content change of that size does not force a new GTIN, so the two records may describe this code at different times. Identity is recorded as the litre bottle, the size two independent records give. | ^upcdb |
| old-site-2006 | ingredients | stale | The only ingredient list for this barcode is the one a contributor typed on the old Barcodepedia site in or before 2006. No label photograph, maker's page or retailer transcription of this pack has been found, and Lucozade Energy was reformulated in 2017 and again in 2023, so the list describes the bottle of that period only. | ^oldsite |
| | nutrition | not_researched | No nutrition panel has been found for this pack: the Open Food Facts record carries no values and its only photograph is a shelf shot in which no panel is visible. | ^off |
| | markets | unknown | No retailer listing printing this GTIN was found in any country, so no United Kingdom market row is recorded even though the pack and the barcode prefix are British. | |
| | relationships | unknown | No public source names the licensee of GS1 prefix 5000134, so the prefix owner is derived from brand ownership rather than sourced, and the prefix is not written to any company's gs1_prefixes. | |

## Research <!--research-->
structure_version: 2
reviewed_on: 2026-09-14
note: Built from the wanted queue. Every catalogue the lookup asked returned nothing except Open Food Facts; identity rests on the archived 2006 entry for this barcode, a 2011 UPC Database entry and the 2023 Open Food Facts record, and the conflict between them over net content is recorded rather than resolved.

## About <!--about-->
Lucozade Energy Original is the plain, orange-tinted glucose drink at the heart of the British Lucozade range, a brand created in Newcastle in 1927 as a tonic for the sick and relaunched in 1983 as an energy drink in a plastic bottle.[^wikipedia] Lucozade still lists Energy as one of its four ranges, beside Sport, Alert and Zero.[^lucozade] This barcode belongs to the one-litre bottle: the 2006 Barcodepedia entry that first recorded the code describes a 1 litre plastic bottle of "Lucozade Energy (original)" with a carbonated water and glucose syrup list,[^oldsite] and a 2011 UPC Database entry repeats the litre size.[^upcdb] The code sits under a GS1 UK prefix whose licensee no public register names; GlaxoSmithKline owned Lucozade at the time and sold it, with Ribena, to Suntory in September 2013, since when the brand has been held by Lucozade Ribena Suntory Limited of Uxbridge.[^wikipedia][^ch-lrs]
An Open Food Facts contributor photographed bottles carrying this code on a shop shelf at 3,00 EUR in June 2023 and typed the size as 900 ml, the size of the bottle that replaced the litre in Britain; that disagreement is kept in the observations rather than resolved.[^off]
