About this product
Listerine Teeth & Gum Defence is a fluoride mouthwash sold in a 500 ml bottle under the Listerine brand, which Kenvue has owned since its separation from Johnson & Johnson.[4] The photographed bottle is a south-east European pack: country badges for Greece, Romania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Serbia sit beside its instruction blocks, and the responsible-person line names Johnson & Johnson GmbH in Neuss, the company renamed Kenvue Germany GmbH in 2025.[3][5] The label says the product is made in the EU and contains sodium fluoride at 450 ppm, with eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate and thymol as its essential oils.[3] Kenvue Professional publishes the same barcode for the United Kingdom as LISTERINE Total Care Teeth and Gum 500ml, with the same ingredients in a different printed order.[6] Open Food Facts files the record as British, but the pack carries no English directions.[7]
More about this product
Listerine was developed in 1879 by the St Louis chemist Joseph Lawrence, named after the antiseptic surgeon Joseph Lister, and first sold as an over-the-counter mouthwash in the United States in 1914; Johnson & Johnson marketed it from its 2006 purchase of Pfizer's consumer healthcare division until the Kenvue separation.[8]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 5 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- identity · unknown: The label says only that the product is made in the EU; no country of manufacture is printed, so country_of_origin is empty.
- relationships · unknown: No public source names the GS1 licensee of prefix 5010123 and its length is unconfirmed; every Open Food Facts pack under it carries a Kenvue consumer-health brand, so the owner is recorded as derived and as an inferred prefix on company/kenvue.
- relationships · unknown: Northdata names JNTL HoldCo LLC as the registered shareholder of Kenvue Germany GmbH in a 2025 shareholder list; nothing fetched here links that entity to Kenvue Inc., so only the group parent is recorded.
- markets · unknown: Only Great Britain and Greece have retailer listings for this barcode; the other seven markets rest on the country badges printed beside the instruction blocks.
- nutrition · not_applicable: A mouthwash carries no nutrition declaration; the ingredient statement is an INCI list.
