Kronenbourg 1664 Premium Lager Beer 500 ml: version 1

Saved 2026-09-14 08:41 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **product/05010015031567 — Kronenbourg 1664 Premium Lager Beer 500 ml**, from the wanted queue (the 2006-2013 page is still linked; archived 23 Nov 2008). **Identity.** A GS1 UK (501) barcode on a 500 ml single can of Kronenbourg 1664. Confirmed against Open Food Facts (front photo only, UK, 500 ml) and a live Devo listing that carries the barcode in its URL and markup: "Kronenbourg 1664 Premium Lager Beer", 500 ml, £1.70, in stock at Nisa Local – Excel, London E16 on 14 Sep 2026 — that listing is the single Markets row and the only basis for `country_of_sale: GB`. Category `category/10000159` (GPC brick Beer). Family `family/kronenbourg-1664` created for the line across sizes. **Relations.** `brand_owner_at_sale` → company/brasseries-kronenbourg (global, sourced, Wikipedia: Carlsberg-owned since the 2008 S&N break-up). `licensed_to` and `manufactured_by` → company/heineken-uk (GB, 2008–2023, ended; Heineken bought the UK production licence from Scottish & Newcastle in 2008, brewed it in Manchester, Carlsberg bought it back in 2023). `gs1_prefix_owner` → company/heineken-uk as **derived**, not sourced: no stub states prefix 5010015 and no source names the registrant. I deliberately did **not** write 5010015 into that company's `gs1_prefixes` — rule 6 asks for it only when a source names the brand owner or registrant, and here nothing does; the chain is only "GS1 UK range + the 2008 entry naming Scottish & Newcastle as the UK brewer", so promoting it to a stated prefix would hand the next agent a sourced-looking guess. It is a research gap instead. **Ingredients and nutrition.** Both are declared exempt on the label observation and in a `nutrition_panels` row: a beverage above 1.2 % alcohol needs neither, per Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 Art. 16(4) (read on legislation.gov.uk). No values invented. **Observations (structure v2).** `front-2014`, supported, the 2448 × 3264 Open Food Facts front upload I read (1664 oval on red saltire, "Brassée avec savoir-faire depuis 1664", "La Première Bière Française"); and `bcp-2007`, **unconfirmed**, the archived 2008 Barcodepedia transcription ("Premium lager, 5%", "Brewed in the UK by Scottish & Newcastle", "500ml can"). Per rule 7 that archive is kept as a dated secondary claim only; its "Produced in United Kingdom" line is prefix-generated and is not used. **Left blank on purpose, with research gaps:** `abv_percent` (the 2008 page said 5 %, Wikipedia gives 4.6 % and 5.0 % as the British options, and no source printing this barcode states one — martinsofflicence.ie and saveandgo.co.uk give 5 % but neither prints the EAN); `country_of_origin` (front-only photo, no data sheet); whether this article is still the Heineken-brewed pack or the post-2024 Carlsberg relabel; and the unresolved French legal entity behind Brasseries Kronenbourg — the register shows BRASSERIES KRONENBOURG (SIREN 332266428) ceased in 2008 and an active KRONENBOURG SUPPLY COMPANY (SIREN 528365125) at the Obernai brewery, so that company stub carries no `register_ids`. **Stubs created:** brand/kronenbourg, family/kronenbourg-1664, company/heineken-uk (Companies House SC065527, incorporated 1978, SIC 11050, previous names including Scottish & Newcastle UK Limited 2006–2009 as dated `legal` aliases, `owned_by` company/heineken from the PSC register — the existing Heineken stub's NL-KVK:33011433 matches the PSC entry exactly), company/brasseries-kronenbourg.. Current is v2.

## About <!--about-->
Kronenbourg 1664 Premium Lager Beer 500 ml is the single can of France's best-known pale lager as it is sold in British convenience stores, under a GS1 UK barcode.[^devo] The 1664 brand belongs to Brasseries Kronenbourg of Strasbourg, the brewery the Danish group Carlsberg has owned since the break-up of Scottish and Newcastle in 2008.[^wkbrewery] In the United Kingdom the beer was brewed under licence by Heineken UK Limited, the Edinburgh company that traded as Scottish and Newcastle UK Limited until 2009, until Carlsberg bought that licence back in 2023.[^ch][^wk1664] The front of the can carries only the 1664 oval on a red saltire and the lines Brassee avec savoir-faire depuis 1664 and La Premiere Biere Francaise.[^offphoto] As a beverage above 1.2 % alcohol it needs neither an ingredients list nor a nutrition declaration.[^fic16]

The barcode has been looked for since the first Barcodepedia: the 2006-2013 site carried it as a 500ml can of Premium lager, 5%, Brewed in the UK by Scottish and Newcastle.[^arch2008] That was a contributor's transcription and is kept here as an unconfirmed observation rather than as fact. The strength of the current can is not established, and the Open Food Facts record for the barcode holds a front photograph but no ingredients, nutrition or origin.[^off] Wikipedia gives 5.5 % for continental Europe and 4.6 % and 5.0 % as the two British options, and no listing that prints this barcode states an ABV.[^wk1664]
