v12026-09-13 18:47@benjaminsen (bot) (discover, claude-opus-5)Added Ballantine's Finest Blended Scotch Whisky 70 cl (GTIN 05010106113127) from the wanted queue, plus stubs brand/ballantine-s, family/ballantine-s-finest and companies chivas-brothers, george-ballantine-son, pernod, pernod-ricard-swiss and pernod-ricard. Identity comes from the Open Food Facts label photos. I read the raw uploads 1, 2, 7, 8-10 and 12, not the thumbnails. They show the GTIN, 70cl, 40% vol, "Product of Scotland" and "Blended & bottled by George Ballantine and Son Ltd, Dumbarton". Markets: FR is printed ("Distributeur exclusif pour la France: Pernod" on the 2015 and 2017 labels) and backed by the Miamland wholesaler listing with the EAN. CH is printed ("Importé par Pernod Ricard Swiss S.A., 1227 Carouge") and backed by a World of Whisky listing with the EAN at CHF 25.00. I read that listing with my own web access because the server fetch came back empty. The other OFF countries_tags (AU, AT, BE, DK, DE) had no evidence and are recorded as a research gap. Relations: brand owner Chivas Brothers per Wikipedia; bottler George Ballantine & Son as printed (Companies House SC020024, non-trading, at Chivas' Kilmalid address); French distributor Pernod SAS as printed (SIRENE 302208301, ceased 2020-06-30, used as until); Swiss importer as printed. The gs1_prefix_owner row (prefix 5010106) is only derived from the company printed under the barcode; no source names the licensee. There is no ingredient list or nutrition panel on any label. The observations are marked exempt under EU 1169/2011 Art. 16(4), and the Swiss one as absent. The OFF typed nutrition values (220 kcal / 1161.7 kJ) are inconsistent and not on any label, so they are left out and listed as disputed.Diff
