| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the GS1 licensee of this barcode; the prefix length is unsourced, so no gs1_prefixes entry was added to a company. | |

| pack-front | markets | unknown | The English/Arabic label suggests Gulf distribution, but no importer or country mark was read, so no market is assigned to the label. | ^pack |
