Cottee's Lemon Cordial 2 l: version 1
Saved 2026-09-25 00:38 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Cottee's Lemon Cordial 2 l (9300614070019), identified from the archived Product Safety Australia recall notice of 21 April 2010 for all 2-litre Cottee's cordials, which lists this barcode as LEMON CORDIAL. The recall supplier Schweppes Australia Pty Ltd is linked to the existing company/asahi-beverages through the ABN Lookup name history of ABN 51 004 243 994. New brand stub brand/cottees, sourced from Asahi Beverages' about and history pages and Wikipedia. Gaps: the ingredients and nutrition of the 2-litre label, a photo, current production status and the GS1 prefix length, so the page is below the index bar.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Cottee's Lemon Cordial 2 l is a lemon cordial concentrate in a 2-litre bottle, sold in Australia under Cottee's, a cordial brand that Asahi Beverages lists among its own Australian brands.[^ab-about] Its barcode appears as "LEMON CORDIAL" in the recall of all 2-litre Cottee's cordial flavours that Schweppes Australia Pty Ltd issued on 21 April 2010 for foreign matter (glass).[^recall] The recall covered bottles with best-before dates from 10 to 15 January 2011 and a ten-digit batch code beginning 3202 on the neck of the bottle, 59,858 cases across the 2-litre range.[^recall]
Schweppes Australia Pty Limited is the name the company with ABN 51 004 243 994 carried from 27 January 2009 until 6 October 2017, when it became Asahi Beverages Pty Ltd.[^abr] Asahi bought Schweppes Australia from Cadbury together with the Cottee's cordial and Passiona trademarks in Australia, while Cottee's spreads, toppings and desserts had gone to H.J. Heinz in 2007.[^wp-cottees] Asahi dates Cottee's joining Cadbury Schweppes to 1985 and says its cordials remain in the group's range; Wikipedia gives 1984.[^ab-history][^wp-cottees]
