## About <!--about-->
Brecon Carreg Still Natural Mineral Water is a 500 ml bottle of Welsh still natural mineral water; the front label reads "Brecon Carreg - Still - Natural Mineral Water, 500ml e".[^photo-front] The bottler draws the water in the Brecon Beacons, describes it as low in sodium and naturally filtered through rock, and sells the still range in eight sizes from 330 ml to 2 litres.[^maker] The business has been Welsh-owned since December 2019, when commercial manager David Stockley bought it from the Belgian group Spadel, which had held it for 35 years.[^mbo] Brecon Carreg Ltd is registered at Trap, Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire for the production of mineral waters, the address the brand gives for itself.[^ch][^makercontact] The pack prints neither an ingredient list nor a nutrition table, both of which a natural mineral water may omit; it prints a typical analysis in milligrams per litre instead.[^fic19][^fic29][^photo-analysis]
The barcode is an old one: the original Barcodepedia already carried a page for "Still Brecon Carreg Mineral Water" under it in a capture from November 2006.[^oldpage] Open Food Facts files the record under France, but the English-only label and a Welsh shop that lists this barcode place the pack in the United Kingdom, so GB is the market recorded here.[^off][^snell]
