   • Earlier ingredient evidence; see its market and date qualifiers.
   The 2013 list names Dextrose and Glucose as two separate ingredients (Sucre, Dextrose, Glucose in the French block). The label does not say which glucose form the second one is, so this row points at the same substance page rather than assuming glucose syrup
