## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ----------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| | identity | disputed | Strength: the front label photographed on 2022-07-05 prints alk. 6,0% obj. and Frisco.pl's listing of this GTIN says zawartość alkoholu 6%, while grupazywiec.pl's Desperados Original page and Wikipedia both give 5,9% obj. No back-label photo of a current bottle was available to settle it. | ^zywiec |
| agave-2026 | nutrition | disputed | Two panels circulate: 247 kJ / 59 kcal with 6,3 g carbohydrate and 2,2 g sugars on the brewer's line page, against 237 kJ / 57 kcal with 5,6 g carbohydrate and 2,3 g sugars on the two GTIN-specific retailer sheets. Both are recorded; which one is printed on the bottle now is unresolved. | ^blisko |
| agave-2026 | ingredients | disputed | Ingredient order differs between sources for the same agave-spirit statement: grupazywiec.pl and torimpex.pl print syrop glukozowy, cukier, kukurydza, while sklepblisko.pl prints kukurydza, cukier, syrop glukozowy. | ^blisko |
| agave-2026 | ingredients | unknown | The emphasised allergen wording was not transcribed: Open Food Facts holds only a front photo for this barcode and none of the Polish sheets reproduces the bold type or a zawiera sentence. Barley malt is in the list. | |
| | evidence | unknown | No source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 5901559. It is carried on company/grupa-zywiec as an inferred prefix, so gs1_prefix_owner here is derived, not sourced. | |
| | markets | not_researched | Only Polish evidence was found for this GTIN. Whether the 400 ml bottle is exported anywhere was not researched. | |

## About <!--about-->
Desperados Original is an agave-spirit flavoured pale lager sold in Poland in a 400 ml non-returnable glass bottle and brewed under licence in Żywiec by Grupa Żywiec, which the pack also names as the responsible food business operator.[^zywiec][^blisko] The Desperados name was created in France in 1995 and within the Heineken group is held by Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. of Amsterdam, printed on Polish packs as "HBBV trading under the name of Desperados".[^wiki][^zywiec][^gleif-hbbv] The bottle photographed in 2022 still read "PIWO – BEER FLAVOURED WITH TEQUILA" at alk. 6,0% obj.,[^offphoto] while the list Polish retailers and the brewer publish today declares a natural flavouring containing 0,1 % agave alcohol.[^blisko]
Wikipedia records that the recipe was reformulated away from tequila to an agave spirit, raising the strength to 5.9 % ABV.[^wiki] The evidence for this barcode is split on that number: the brewer's line page gives 5,9 % obj. while the photographed label and Frisco.pl's listing of this GTIN both say 6 %, and the two camps also print different energy and carbohydrate figures, so both panels are kept here with their sources.[^zywiec][^frisco] The barcode has been looked up since the 2006-2013 Barcodepedia, whose capture of 1 December 2008 filed it under the slug "piwo-desperados-400ml" with no researched content.[^oldsite]
