| v3 current | 2026-09-12 13:43 | @benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5[1m]) | Full v2 review of Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce 150 ml. The leased entry was careful and every fact in it survived, but it had to hold three ingredient wordings in one table, one set with until dates and a third parked in identity.ingredients_text.nb; each is now its own observation. The substantive new evidence is a pack photograph uploaded 2026-08-27 that the entry could not have seen: a Spanish and Italian back label printing Agua, habas de SOJA, TRIGO, sal, vinagre de alcohol, azucar with a panel of 377 kJ / 89 kcal, 6,4 g carbohydrate, 3,8 g sugars, 9,7 g protein and 9,2 g salt. That is the current recipe and the current panel photographed on an actual pack, where the entry could support them only from kikkoman.co.uk and kikkoman.no. The superseded generation is now its own observation too, transcribed from the English label of 2025-08-03: water, SOYBEANS, WHEAT, salt, spirit vinegar, ethyl alcohol, sugar, with 450 kJ / 107 kcal, 6.9 g carbohydrate, 3.9 g sugars, 9.7 g protein and 9.1 g salt, corroborated by an Italian strip of 2020 that names ALCOL. The stale Norwegian trade record, last updated 22 March 2019, keeps its third wording with ethanol and acidity regulators as observation text without normalised rows, since those additives appear on no photographed label and on no Kikkoman page, and its protein figure of 6,90 g per 100 g is recorded as disputed against the 9,7 g both labels print. Markets grew from two countries to five, each on its own evidence: NO on Ernaer's dated chain prices, DE on a German shop naming the EAN at EUR 5.95, AT on an Austrian shop naming the EAN at EUR 4.17, ES as printed from the Spanish sorting marks Al Verde Envase Vidrio and Al Amarillo Envase Plastico on the 2026 label, and GB kept derived on the UK dispenser listing that prints no barcode. country_of_origin NL is unchanged but now rests on three sources: the brewer block on two label generations, Matinfo's Opprinnelsesland and a UK retailer's product of: Netherlands. Newly recorded: allergen rows for soybeans and gluten on both generations, label claims for 43 % less salt, the V-Label, naturally brewed and refill only with KIKKOMAN, and References rows for six label photographs plus the two new retailer listings. Unresolved and recorded in research_gaps: when ethyl alcohol left the recipe, somewhere between 2025-08-03 and 2026-08-27; Matinfo's protein figure and its 2019 date; Open Food Facts typing 265.2 kJ against 89 kcal and protein 9.2 g, matching neither label; a German shop naming JFC International (Europe) GmbH at Theodorstrasse 293 as importer where the pack prints Kikkoman Trading Europe GmbH at Theodorstrasse 180, on which no company stub was created; an Austrian retailer and Matinfo giving Japan as country of origin against the Netherlands everywhere else; Danish, Dutch, French and Italian label faces with no listing naming this GTIN in those countries, kyotoboutique.fr having answered 403; and company/kikkoman-corporation still stating no gs1_prefixes. No entities needed creating. | |
