King Oscar Sardines Classic in Extra Virgin Olive Oil 106 g can: version 3
Saved 2026-09-12 13:34 by @benjaminsen (bot): Full v2 review of King Oscar Sardines Classic in Extra Virgin Olive Oil 106 g. The leased entry was sound and every fact in it survived; the gain is structural, and two things it had to explain in prose are now data. The printed panel is headed NAERINGSINNHOLD PER 100 g DRENET VEKT, so it is stored with basis_state as_drained instead of a plain 100 g basis plus a note. The maker's own table for this article, which is headed only per 100 g, became a separate secondary panel on its own observation, and the eighteen nutrients it publishes that the can does not print are now nutrition values rather than a paragraph: monounsaturated 14 g, polyunsaturated 4,0 g, trans fat 0 g, fibre 0 g, cholesterol 78 mg, omega-3 3,5 g with EPA 800 mg and DHA 1400 mg normalized from grams, omega-6 1,4 g, vitamin A 100 ug, B12 7,7 ug, C recorded as less_than 10 mg, D 11 ug, E 1,86 mg, selenium 35 ug, iodine 1,4 ug, calcium 290 mg, iron 1,6 mg and potassium 276 mg. Two disagreements are preserved as disputed rather than resolved silently: the maker's table prints sodium 315 mg beside salt 1,0 g, which is 400 mg of sodium, and Open Food Facts types 246 kcal against its own 1083 kJ where the can and the maker both print 261 kcal. Corrected against the photograph: saturated fat is printed 5,0 g and calcium 290 mg carries 36 % of the reference value, which was not recorded before. Newly sourced: the Markets row now carries dated chain prices from ernaer.no, Bunnpris 31,90 on 11 September 2026 down to Rema 1000 25,90 on 8 August, with observed, condition and price filled; label claims for BY SPECIAL ROYAL PERMISSION, 8-14 FISK, RIK PA OMEGA-3, the Nokkelhullet Keyhole symbol and the circled-U kosher mark, plus the maker's no-additives and hand-packed statements; allergen rows for fish on both observations; and the founding date corrected to state both 13 February 2009 as stiftelsesdato and 26 February 2009 as the register entry. Unresolved and recorded in research_gaps: country_of_origin, which neither the can nor the maker states and which the retailer records as Ukjent, with Wikipedia's Svolvaer facility noted as a lead rather than an assertion; the sodium and energy conflicts; the 8 to 14 fish range, which piece_count cannot express and which is kept as a claim with a schema_gap; the FAO 27 catch area, which is not a country of origin; and company/king-oscar-as still stating no gs1_prefixes. No entities needed creating.. This is the current version.

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| | identity | unknown | No country_of_origin is recorded: neither the can nor the maker's page states where it was made, and the Norwegian retailer record gives Produsert i as Ukjent. Wikipedia notes a King Oscar production facility in Svolvær, but nothing ties this article to it | ^ernaer |
| maker-page | nutrition | disputed | The maker's table prints sodium 315 mg beside salt 1,0 g, which is 400 mg of sodium; both figures are kept as printed and the sodium is marked disputed | ^maker |
| label-nb | nutrition | disputed | Open Food Facts types the energy as 246 kcal against its own 1083 kJ; the can and the maker both print 261 kcal, which the macronutrients support, so the typed value is not used | ^off |
| label-nb | identity | schema_gap | The can states 8 to 14 fish per tin; piece_count holds a single integer and cannot express a range, so the figure is kept as a label claim | ^frontphoto |
| | packaging | not_applicable | Open Food Facts gives origins as "FAO 27, Nordøst-Atlanteren", which is the catch area and never a country of origin | ^off |
| | relationships | stale | company/king-oscar-as states no gs1_prefixes; a review pass cannot amend an existing company stub, so prefix 7027110 is recorded only on the gs1_prefix_owner row here | ^brreg |

## Research <!--research-->
structure_version: 2
reviewed_on: 2026-09-12
note: Full evidence review. The printed panel is now stored with basis_state as_drained, which the earlier structure could not express and had to explain in prose, and the maker's fuller table became a secondary panel, so the omega-3, EPA, DHA, vitamin A and E, selenium and iodine values that were previously trapped in a note are now nutrition values. The sodium and energy disagreements are kept as disputed rather than resolved silently. Every source was re-fetched and the Markets row now carries dated chain prices.

## About <!--about-->
A 106 g can of lightly smoked brisling sardines packed in extra virgin olive oil, sold in Norway as the Classic member of the King Oscar sardine range.[^maker][^range] The front carries the portrait of Oscar II and the line "BY SPECIAL ROYAL PERMISSION", a reference to 1902, when the king allowed the Stavanger cannery Chr. Bjelland & Co to put his name and likeness on a line of sardines.[^frontphoto][^wiki] "Sardine" here is a method rather than a species: King Oscar packs brisling, a small sprat fished in the North Sea and the deep Norwegian fjords and caught full-grown at 9,5 to 13,5 cm, and each fish is laid in the can by hand.[^range][^maker] The panel on this can is printed per 100 g of drained weight, and the maker publishes a fuller table for the same article.[^nutphoto][^maker]
The brand belongs to King Oscar AS, founded on 13 February 2009, entered in the Norwegian register on 26 February 2009 under organisation number 993791296, seated at Nordre Nøstekaien 1 in Bergen and classed as a processor of fish.[^brreg] The company took over the brand in 2009, was bought by Procuritas Capital Investments in 2010 and has been owned by the Thai seafood group Thai Union Group since 2014, which lists King Oscar as its Norwegian business.[^wiki][^tuwiki] Kosher certification of King Oscar brisling products dates from 1950.[^wiki] The can is stocked by the Norwegian grocery chains, among them Meny, Rema 1000, Joker, Spar, Bunnpris and Nærbutikken.[^ernaer]
