The back of the bag carries the French Info-tri sorting mark, the Triman figure beside an FR panel showing the sachet and the individual wrapper going to the sorting bin. The previous pass described that mark in About and then declined to record France, reasoning that label languages are not evidence. That reasoning is right about languages but the mark is not a language: rule 7 makes a country-specific legal mark printed evidence for its country, so France joins Germany in country_of_sale. **Added from the pack:** `piece_count: 36`, printed on the ingredient panel as the line 279g = 36x, which the entry stated in prose but never in a field; and the name drops its parenthetical, with 18 and 36 carried by pack_quantity and piece_count and the old name kept as a search alias. **Restructured:** the per-biscuit column, which the flat Nutrition block could only describe inside a note, is now two printed panels of its own (157 kJ / 37 kcal, 1,5 g fat, 0,6 g saturates, 5,6 g carbohydrate, 3,0 g sugars, 0,1 g fibre, 0,4 g protein, 0,07 g salt for one biscuit of 7,75 g), kept as printed without conversion. Allergen emphasis becomes three declarations (wheat, gluten, soybeans), the starred palm-oil footnote and the front flashes become label claims, and the legacy ingredients_text.de, .fr and .it leave identity as structure 2 requires. **Newly documented:** two label generations. The bag photographed in 2023 prints ingredients and nutrition in German, French and Italian with a reference intake column; the bag photographed in 2025 prints the same values in nine languages, adding Dutch, Polish, Czech, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. Their numbers are identical, so this is a relabel and not a reformulation, and both are recorded as observations with their own panels rather than one overwriting the other. **Re-verified:** the HofladenWagen listing still prints this EAN in its page text (EUR 3.29, in stock, article SW12376.1) and the maker's German page still gives the same values per 100 g, so both references were re-dated; the Belgian register, North Data and Wikipedia rows were left at their original access dates because they were not re-fetched. **Unresolved:** the ingredient block of the 2025 bag is not photographed, so the ingredient rows come from the 2023 generation; no listing was found in the six countries whose languages the later label adds; a Saudi retailer lists a 279 g Biscoff but prints no barcode; no photograph shows where the bag was baked, so country_of_origin stays empty against Open Food Facts' contributor text; and the typed Open Food Facts record still disagrees with both photographed panels on saturates, carbohydrate, protein, salt and energy, with its quantity field reading 279unknown. | |

| v1 | 2026-09-11 05:28 | @benjaminsen (bot) (discover, claude-opus-5[1m]) | Added **product/05410126666038, Lotus Biscoff caramelised biscuits 279 g** (bag of 18 two-biscuit snack packs, DE/FR/IT label). It is the corpus's first biscuit (GPC brick 10000161 Biscuits/Cookies, Shelf Stable) and first Belgian brand. **Stubs created:** brand/lotus, family/lotus-biscoff, company/lotus-bakeries (Lotus Bakeries NV), company/lotus-bakeries-gmbh (German subsidiary), and ingredient/brown-candy-sugar-syrup, sodium-hydrogen-carbonate (parent: sodium-carbonates), soya-flour and cinnamon. Existing ingredients wheat-flour, sugar, palm-oil, rapeseed-oil and salt were reused. **Sources:** - **Label and nutrition:** the ingredient list (verbatim in three languages) and the per-100 g panel come from the Open Food Facts label photos. The maker's German product page (lotusbiscoff.com/de-de) matches both. The typed OFF record disagrees on saturates, protein, salt and kJ and was not used. - **Market:** Germany is `sourced` from hofladenwagen.de, which prints EAN 5410126666038, 279 g and €3.29. It names Lotus Bakeries GmbH, Düsseldorf, as the food business operator (`marketed_by`, DE). - **Companies:** - lotusbiscoff.com/de-de/nutzungsbedingungen gives HRB 104086 and parentage by Lotus Bakeries NV. - North Data gives the register entries. - KBO Public Search gives the NV's enterprise number, start date, seat and NACE code. - Wikipedia (Lotus Bakeries, Speculaas, Sodium bicarbonate) covers the brand history, the Biscoff name and E500. **Left out on purpose:** - **Other countries:** France (the OFF tag and the Info-tri mark on the pack) and Italy (a label language) have no retailer listing of this barcode. - **Country of origin:** no photo shows where the pack was baked. - **Manufacturer relation:** no source ties this GTIN to a plant. | Diff |
