About this product
John Player Special Just Red is a filter cigarette sold in Germany in a flip-top box of 21 under the EAN-8 barcode 40296944.[1] A cigarette-pack collection records the pack in 2012 with "5.00 21 STÜCK" printed on the cellophane, tar 10 and nicotine 0.9, and names Imperial Tobacco as the producer and John Player & Sons as the trade mark owner.[1] The front prints "Just Red" and "ohne Zusätze" (without additives) above the red JPS monogram on a beige ground.[2] The line is owned and marketed by Imperial Brands, which launched JPS in the United Kingdom in 1970.[3][4]
A German retailer today sells JPS Just Red as an additive-free American blend king size cigarette in packs of 20, made by Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken in Hamburg.[5] In Austria the collection records John Player Special Ohne Zusätze Red giving way to John Player Special Just Red in August 2016, under Austrian barcodes.[1][6]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 2 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- relationships · unknown: No source names the GS1 licensee of EAN-8 40296944, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge. GS1 Germany allocates EAN-8 numbers one at a time, so there is no company prefix to read from the number
- specifications · unknown: The collection gives tar and nicotine as bare numbers without units, so the rows keep no unit
- markets · stale: The only record of this barcode is the German 2012 pack; German retailers now list JPS Just Red in packs of 20 under other barcodes, and no current listing of 40296944 was found
- images · unknown: No freely licensed photograph of this pack was found: the zigsam.at pack photographs carry no licence
- relationships · disputed: The collector names "Imperial Tobacco" as producer of this pack without naming the entity; the manufactured_by row points to the German group company a retailer names for the current article
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
- schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
