About this product

Trebor Softmints Spearmint is a 44.9 g roll of mint flavoured chewy centred sweets in a crisp candy coating, sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland under the Trebor mint brand that Mondelez International owns.[3] The roll carries the EAN-8 barcode 50105083, a suitable-for-vegetarians roundel and a choking warning, and names Mondelez UK in Birmingham and Mondelez Ireland in Dublin as the companies to contact.[1] Mondelez International's own United Kingdom page says its Sheffield factory, founded in 1842, makes Trebor mints, and Bestway Wholesale gives the country of origin as the United Kingdom.[4][5] Bestway prices the roll at a recommended 79p and sells it to shops in cases of forty.[5]

Trebor was founded on 4 January 1907 in Forest Gate, east London, by four partners including Robert Robertson, whose first name reversed gave the firm its name; Cadbury Schweppes bought it in 1989 for GBP 147 million, it traded as the Trebor Bassett division from 1990, and it passed to Mondelez International with the rest of Cadbury.[3] Softmints reached a wider audience in 1987, when Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel's "Mr. Soft" was used in its television advertising and re-released as a single to coincide with the spring 1988 campaign.[3] The old Barcodepedia held this barcode from at least January 2009 as "Trebor Spearmint Softmints" and attributed it to Sanmex International PLC, a line that site generated from the number rather than reading from the pack.[6]

Coverage & research gaps (11)

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
  • Back of the GB/IE roll photographed in 2017: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Current GB label as reproduced in the Bestway wholesale data sheet: nutrient evidence: 16 / 16 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • relationships · not_applicable: This is a GTIN-8 (EAN-8): GS1 UK allocates these numbers individually, so there is no company prefix behind 50105083 and no gs1_prefix_owner to record. No source names the licensee of the number itself.
  • nutrition · disputed: The 2017 printed panel and the 2026 wholesale data sheet disagree: 1600 kJ / 375 kcal, 94 g carbohydrate and 72 g sugars against 1589 kJ / 374 kcal, 93 g carbohydrate and 73 g sugars. Both are kept as their own panels; no dated maker page was found saying when the declaration was revised.
  • ingredients · disputed: Bestway's sheet prints the ingredient statement without the "(contains SULPHITES)" qualifier the 2017 roll shows emphasised. The likeliest explanation is that the wholesaler dropped the allergen emphasis rather than that the recipe changed, but no photograph of a current roll was found to settle it.
  • markets · unknown: No amazon.co.uk listing was found for the single 44.9 g roll: the Amazon UK results are the 4-roll and 40-roll multipacks, which carry their own barcodes, and their /dp/ pages answer HTTP 500. amazon.com carries only a 12-roll pack.
  • identity · unknown: themintpeople.co.uk, the web address printed on the 2017 roll, now resolves to a parked domain-registrar placeholder, so the brand has no site of its own to cite.
  • media · stale: The only photographs of this barcode are 2017 uploads of a roll with a best-before date of 17 February 2018. The current pack artwork has not been photographed here.
  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.ie on 2026-09-17 for "Trebor Softmints Spearmint 44.9 g", brand "trebor" (pages 1-2 of 247 results), barcode "000050105083" (0 results), plus "trebor softmints spearmint roll" and a price-ascending sort: no listing of the single 44.9 g roll. The store lists only multipacks of it: B01EX156O6 "( 40 Pack ) Trebor Softmints Spearmint Mints Roll 44.9g", B00H59OI16 "Trebor Softmints Spearmint Roll x40" and B009JS13KU "Trebor Softmint Spearmint Roll Std (Pack of 20)", whose details table prints GTIN 050001052.
  • evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
  • schema · schema_gap: Review and assign legacy facts to coherent observations.
  • ingredients · not_researched: Ingredient statement or sourced exemption not recorded.
  • nutrition · not_researched: Nutrition declaration or exemption not recorded.
