Mort Subite Original Kriek 25 cl: version 1

Saved 2026-09-14 16:41 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Mort Subite Original Kriek 25 cl** (EAN 5411656010711) from the wanted queue, plus four stubs. **Identity confirmed before writing:** the Open Food Facts raw upload 2 shows the bottle's back label with the barcode 5411656010711 printed on it, alongside the brewing address and the multilingual denomination; Open Food Facts is the only catalogue holding the barcode (Open Library, Wikidata empty; MusicBrainz answered 503 and is irrelevant for a beer). The old Barcodepedia capture the wanted row links to is a prefix-generated stub ("Unknown Item / Produced in Belgium or Luxembourg by Unknown producer"), cited only for the 2008 slug. **Label read, not copied:** both 2448x3264 raw uploads were opened and transcribed. The pack prints a legal denomination with a 12 % QUID for cherries and elderberries together and the allergen sentence "contains barley and wheat", but no ingredient list and no nutrition panel - Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 exempts drinks over 1.2 % vol from both, so the observation carries ingredients_declaration: exempt with that basis and the single nutrition panel row is declaration: exempt, basis_state: not_printed. The four Ingredients rows come from the printed denomination and allergen sentence and say so in their notes; no percentage is asserted for cherries alone because the 12 % is joint. **Markets are printed evidence only.** The back label carries an oval destination cluster (UK, D, F, E, CH) beside the recycling marks, oval B and NL badges flanking the Green Dot, and "NL: statiegeld EUR 0,10"; the D and CH badges cannot be language labels, since the label has no German prose block and Switzerland has no language of its own here. Origin BE comes from "Gebrouwen in / Brassee a Mort Subite, Lierput 1, B-1730 Asse-Belgium". No retailer listing prints this GTIN (web search 2026-09-14), so there is no price, no condition and no status: that is recorded as a research gap rather than guessed, and identity.status is left unset. **Relations:** manufactured_by brouwerij-mort-subite (printed); brand_owner_at_sale alken-maes (sourced, en.wikipedia Alken-Maes); gs1_prefix_owner brouwerij-mort-subite as derived - no stub states prefix 5411656 and no source names the registrant, but all 22 Open Food Facts records under 5411656 are Mort Subite lambics, so the prefix sits in gs1_prefixes_inferred on the brewery stub with that basis, and the gap notes it could equally be Alken-Maes. **Stubs:** brand/mort-subite (owned_by alken-maes); company/brouwerij-mort-subite (formerly Brouwerij De Keersmaeker, Kobbegem; owned_by alken-maes from 2000, parent_org heineken from 2008, per nl.wikipedia); company/alken-maes (BE-KBO:0716926901 and LEI 5493008DSBGESD0H4G19 from the GLEIF record, seat Mechelen; parent_org the existing company/heineken, with a note that GLEIF holds no parent record so the direct shareholder is unidentified); ingredient/elderberry (ingredient/cherry, /barley, /wheat already existed and were reused; only ingredient/elderberry-extract existed for elder). Sources: the two Open Food Facts label photographs, the Open Food Facts record and its prefix search, nl.wikipedia Brouwerij Mort Subite, en.wikipedia Alken-Maes, Het Huis van de Geuze (HORAL) brewery history, legislation.gov.uk for 1169/2011 Art. 16, GLEIF for Alken-Maes, and the 2008 Wayback capture of the old page..

## About <!--about-->
Mort Subite Original Kriek is a Belgian cherry lambic sold in a 25 cl brown glass bottle at 4.5 % vol.[^packback] Its back label calls it a lambic beer flavoured with cherries and elderberries, 12 % of the two fruits together, containing barley and wheat, and says it is brewed at Mort Subite, Lierput 1, B-1730 Asse.[^packback] No ingredient list or nutrition panel is printed, as Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 exempts drinks above 1.2 % vol from both.[^eulaw] The brewery in Kobbegem, formerly Brouwerij De Keersmaeker, is one of the few in Belgium still brewing lambic; Alken-Maes bought half of it in 1989 and the rest in 2000, and that group has belonged to Heineken since 2008.[^nlwiki] Open Food Facts holds the pack, photographed in 2015.[^off]

The Mort Subite name comes from A la Mort Subite, a Brussels café and gueuze blendery the De Keersmaeker brewery took over in 1970, after which its Geuze Den Hert became Geuze Mort Subite.[^horal] The old Barcodepedia site carried this barcode in 2008 under the slug "mort-subite-kriek", but its page held no facts beyond a prefix-generated line.[^oldsite]
