About this product

Saskia is the own-label mineral water of the German discounter Lidl, and this 0.5-litre one-way PET bottle is the carbonated Classic sort drawn from the Saskia spring at Jessen (Elster) in Saxony-Anhalt.[2][1] The label sells it as natural mineral water with carbon dioxide added, bottled at the point of extraction in 06917 Jessen, and says it suits a low-sodium diet.[1] It is filled by MEG Weißenfels GmbH & Co. KG, which bottles Saskia for Lidl at five German spring sites and lists the 0,5-litre Classic in its current range.[3] Lidl reports that Stiftung Warentest rated the Saskia Classic from the Jessen spring 1,7 ("gut"), with 1,0 for microbiological quality.[2] The barcode is an EAN-8, allocated individually rather than out of a company prefix.

Photographs taken between 2020 and 2024 show two label generations. The silver label carried the Saskia crown, the CLASSIC band, "QUELLE JESSEN" set vertically and a gold DLG roundel; its analysis frame first gave five figures per litre and by August 2020 eight: sodium 19,7 mg, potassium 2,4 mg, magnesium 5,9 mg, calcium 40,0 mg, fluoride 0,25 mg, chloride 8,5 mg, sulphate 4,3 mg and hydrogen carbonate 194 mg.[4][5][6] By July 2021 the bottle carried the current design, with the spring name in script and a boxed "Natriumarm".[7] The 2024 label adds a panel saying the bottle body is made entirely of recycled material, and credits the analysis to Laborunion Prof. Höll & Co. GmbH, Bad Elster, 29 September 2016.[8][9] MEG's composition sheet for the Jessen spring, dated 2 December 2021, prints the same eight values and adds silicic acid 16,3 mg, a total mineralisation of 276 mg/l, pH 7,7 and a total hardness of 6,96 °dH.[10]

  • Specifications: 1 / 5 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
  • relationships · not_applicable: This is an EAN-8. GS1 Germany allocates GTIN-8 numbers one at a time rather than out of a company prefix, so there is no prefix to attribute and no gs1_prefix_owner row.
  • markets · unknown: amazon.de searched on 2026-09-25 for "Saskia Mineralwasser Classic 0,5": the Saskia Classic listings on that storefront are 8 x 1,5 l (B0GYK84TXY) and 16 x 1,5 l (B0GYK2WS4S) multipacks naming Wörth am Rhein, and the only 0,5 l Saskia listing is the Still sort (B0H2BYWRZ9), so no Amazon Markets row was recorded.
  • markets · unknown: No retailer price for this pack is recorded; Lidl's Saskia brand page names the sizes but lists no price per spring.
  • identity · disputed: MEG fills Saskia Classic at five springs under separate barcodes and offers each in 1,5 l and 0,5 l. This number is the Jessen filling per the printed label, but sibling 0000042143529 is the Wörth am Rhein Classic in the same 0,5 l size, so a listing or price that names no spring cannot be assigned to this pack.
  • evidence · unknown: The black-red-gold ribbon roundel on the August 2020 front is too small in the photograph to read beyond a "1".
