118	122		Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C is a medicated sore-throat lozenge sold in Malaysia in a 24-lozenge carton whose front panel reads "Soothing relief for sore throats".[^pack] Strepsils is a Reckitt brand of throat lozenges, launched by Boots Healthcare as a mouthwash in 1950 and as lozenges in 1958, and one of the Boots Healthcare brands Reckitt Benckiser bought in 2006.[^wikipedia-strepsils] Reckitt's Malaysian brand site gives the core range two antiseptics, dichlorophenylcarbinol 1.2 mg and amylmetacresol 0.6 mg per lozenge;[^strepsils-my] the Vitamin C-100 variant adds 100 mg of vitamin C.[^wikipedia-strepsils] The photographed carton carries the Malaysian Ministry of Health Meditag security hologram and a Kuala Lumpur pharmacy's RM 14.60 price sticker,[^pack] and the barcode was already on the old Barcodepedia in 2007 as "Strepsils Vitamin C-100".[^old-barcodepedia]

120		−	Reckitt Benckiser (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia in 1988 and seated in Kuala Lumpur, is the group's Malaysian company;[^gleif-rbm] GLEIF names Reckitt Benckiser Group plc as its direct and ultimate parent.[^gleif-parent] No published source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 9556108, so the prefix owner is recorded as derived: the Open Food Facts block under those digits holds this carton and an Optrex eye drop, both Reckitt brands sold in Malaysia.[^off-block]
	124	+	RB (Health) Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the Reckitt group's Malaysian health company, is named by GS1 Malaysia's own Verified by GS1 search portal as the brand owner behind this barcode, with registration number 1297081-V and an address at Menara 1 Sentrum on Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Kuala Lumpur.[^gs1my] The barcode's GS1 company prefix, 9556108, is therefore recorded against that company as sourced rather than inferred from the brands Open Food Facts files under the same digits.[^off-block]

## About <!--about-->
Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C is a medicated sore-throat lozenge sold in Malaysia in a 24-lozenge carton whose front panel reads "Soothing relief for sore throats".[^pack] Strepsils is a Reckitt brand of throat lozenges, launched by Boots Healthcare as a mouthwash in 1950 and as lozenges in 1958, and one of the Boots Healthcare brands Reckitt Benckiser bought in 2006.[^wikipedia-strepsils] Reckitt's Malaysian brand site gives the core range two antiseptics, dichlorophenylcarbinol 1.2 mg and amylmetacresol 0.6 mg per lozenge;[^strepsils-my] the Vitamin C-100 variant adds 100 mg of vitamin C.[^wikipedia-strepsils] The photographed carton carries the Malaysian Ministry of Health Meditag security hologram and a Kuala Lumpur pharmacy's RM 14.60 price sticker,[^pack] and the barcode was already on the old Barcodepedia in 2007 as "Strepsils Vitamin C-100".[^old-barcodepedia]

Reckitt Benckiser (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia in 1988 and seated in Kuala Lumpur, is the group's Malaysian company;[^gleif-rbm] GLEIF names Reckitt Benckiser Group plc as its direct and ultimate parent.[^gleif-parent] No published source names the licensee of GS1 company prefix 9556108, so the prefix owner is recorded as derived: the Open Food Facts block under those digits holds this carton and an Optrex eye drop, both Reckitt brands sold in Malaysia.[^off-block]
