About this product

Dextro Energy Classic is a 46 g cube of eight individually wrapped dextrose tablets, the plain flavour of the glucose cube that Dextro Energy GmbH & Co. KG of Krefeld makes and markets.[3][4] The tablets are 89 % dextrose with maltodextrin, citric acid, magnesium salts of fatty acids and flavouring, each scored so it can be halved, and the pack base is printed "Made in Germany" above the EAN-8.[5][6] German grocers list it at around EUR 1.15 to 1.23 and the maker's own shop still sells the flavour as an 18-cube case, so the article is current.[7][8][9] The label was revised between 2021 and 2024: carbohydrate rose from 90 g to 91 g per 100 g and the fat and salt figures became more precise, while the ingredient list stayed the same.[10][9]

The brand goes back to 1927, when Deutsche Maizena GmbH sold a dextrose powder through pharmacies; the cube reached the shops in 1935 as Dextro Energen and was renamed Dextro Energy in 2002. Unilever sold the business to Zertus GmbH of Hamburg on 5 March 2005.[4] This barcode has been in circulation at least since May 2007, when the original Barcodepedia held it under the slug "dextro-engergy-classic" with no facts attached.[11]

Coverage & research gaps (13)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 4 / 5 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 4 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Current pack, German/English label photographed 2024-05-18: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Dextro Energy product page for Dextrose Classic: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Earlier pack, German/English label photographed 2020 and 2021: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Specifications: 1 / 3 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
  • nutrition · unknown: The only photograph of the current label is a crop that ends after the carbohydrate line, so sugars, protein and salt for that pack are carried by the maker's page rather than by the pack itself.
  • markets · unknown: Open Food Facts lists France under countries_tags, but no French retailer listing and no French-language label were found; the photos a French contributor filed under fr show the German/English pack, so FR is not recorded as a market.
  • markets · not_researched: Amazon has no separate .at storefront and the amazon.de listing states free delivery to Germany and Austria, so no Austrian Amazon listing could be cited; the Austrian evidence is a pharmacy listing without a barcode.
  • relationships · not_applicable: This is an EAN-8. GS1 Germany allocates GTIN-8 numbers one at a time, so there is no company prefix to attribute and no source names the licensee of 40468709; no gs1_prefix_owner row is recorded.
  • identity · unknown: No Handelsregister number was found for the KG itself. The maker's imprint gives only its general partner, Dextro Energy Geschäftsführungs-GmbH, Amtsgericht Krefeld HRB 10668, and GLEIF holds no LEI for either company.
  • evidence · disputed: The maker's imprint gives the seat as Hafenstr. 77, 47809 Krefeld; the trade record behind the German retailer listings gives Otto Hahn Str. 4, 40670 Meerbusch as the operator's address; the 2020-2021 pack prints Postfach 9239, D-47749 Krefeld. Not resolved.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
