The statement matches the Bestway sheet word for word where both are legible. The back also prints a "Responsibly Sourced Cocoa 100%" badge with a QR code, a GB block with 0800 952 00[77] and a Freepost address for Mars Wrigley Co[nfectionery], and a block for Mars Foods Ireland Ltd, PO Box 3[…], https://ire.mars.com/ and an 1890 number. The front end flap prints "Mars = 51 g, 948kJ, 225kcal, 11%*" and a per-100 g energy line ending "442 kcal"; the front edge prints "Free From Artificial Colours, Flavours & Preservatives", and the yellow flash at the right end is cut by the frame. The nutrition table at the left edge of the back shows only its percentage column. | 51 g        | 1             | 1           | price-marked flow wrap (75p) |              |

|             | identity      | unknown  | Better Retailing reported in April 2026 that a leading wholesaler showed the 75p price-marked 51 g Mars bar as discontinued, replaced by a 40 g bar with the same 75p price-mark; the report names no barcode, and no Mars range page lists either bar, so status stays open while London shops and Bestway still carried this code in September 2026.                                                                                    | ^mars40g  |
| gb-2026     | markets       | disputed | The back prints a consumer block for Mars Foods Ireland Ltd with an Irish 1890 number beside the GB block, as the unmarked British and Irish wrappers do, but the pack carries a sterling 75p price-mark and every listing that prints this barcode is British, so IE is not in country_of_sale.                                                                                                                                          | ^off-back |

## About <!--about-->
Mars 51 g under barcode 5000159565004 is the British price-marked edition of the standard single Mars bar, its wrapper carrying a yellow 75p flash: milk chocolate (40 %) with a soft nougat (32 %) and caramel centre (27 %), the bar Forrest Mars Sr. first made in Slough in 1932.[^wp-mars][^bestway][^off-shelf] One bar gives 948 kJ (225 kcal), and the recipe uses whey permeate, sunflower oil and palm fat.[^bestway][^off-back] The back names Mars Wrigley Confectionery on a GB consumer line.[^off-back] Bestway Wholesale sells it in cases of 48 with a 75p RSP, and a London convenience store listed it at GBP 0.90 in September 2026.[^bestway][^devo]

Better Retailing reported in April 2026 that Mars had cut its British single bars from 51 g to 40 g without changing the 75p price-mark, with a leading wholesaler showing the 51 g price-marked bar as discontinued.[^mars40g] Trade suppliers still listed this code afterwards, and Forrest Foods and Brand Factory give 5000159565011 as the code of its 48-bar case.[^forrest][^brandfactory] A 2024 photograph filed under the same barcode shows a wrapper with a football prize-draw promotion.[^off-promo]
