A whole-bottle photograph of 2025-07-29 showing the front only: "Coca-Cola Sabor Original" over "Deliciosa y Refrescante", with a front-of-pack energy flash. No ingredient list, panel or operator block is in frame, so none is transcribed from it

Different sources or national labels can coexist. Differences alone do not establish a change to the product.

  • British label, Coke Original Taste sweetened with sugar supported · Compare evidence

    Read from two uploads of the same English label: the ingredient panel photographed 2022-02-04, which also shows the MADE IN GB mark and the OPRL "CAP ON / Recycle" label, and the whole-bottle photograph of 2025-10-27 carrying the panel, the barcode 5449 1472 and "©2023 The Coca-Cola Company"

  • Croatian label, sweetened with fructose-glucose syrup supported · Compare evidence

    One upload of 2021-09-08 shows the whole Croatian back: the denomination, the ingredient list, the operator block, the panel and "© 2021 The Coca-Cola Company"; a front photograph of the same pack carries the best-before date 22/01/2022

  • Ukrainian and Romanian bilingual label made in Romania supported · Compare evidence

    Headed "Coke ОРИГІНАЛЬНИЙ СМАК / GUST ORIGINAL"; the panel is headed in both languages and the back names Romania as the country of origin and the Ukrainian importer. Only the Ukrainian text carries a country badge, so Romania is recorded as origin and not as a market

About this product

Coca-Cola Original Taste in the 500 ml PET bottle, the article behind the eight-digit barcode 54491472 printed beside the panel on every label read for this page.[4] A GTIN-8 carries no company prefix, because GS1 allocates these short numbers one at a time, so the code names no licensee. The Coca-Cola Company signs each label as trademark owner,[4] and the bottle is filled and sold for national markets under its authorisation: two British wholesalers list the article under this barcode,[1][5] and a Tenerife hypermarket sells it as Refresco Original Coca Cola 500 ml.[3] Open Food Facts holds about 120 uploads against the number,[6] and the old Barcodepedia catalogued it in 2008 as a 500 ml plastic bottle at 95p.[7]

One barcode, several labels. The British pack calls itself Coke Original Taste, a "Sparkling Soft Drink with Plant Extracts" made from carbonated water, sugar, caramel colour E150d, phosphoric acid and natural flavourings including caffeine, and prints 180 kJ / 42 kcal and 10.6 g of sugars per 100 ml with a MADE IN GB mark.[4] The Croatian pack of 2021 is sweetened with fructose-glucose syrup instead and prints 190 kJ / 45 kcal and 11.2 g of sugars, an eight per cent heavier drink under the same number, with Coca-Cola HBC Hrvatska d.o.o. of Zagreb as operator and the Croatian deposit mark.[4] The Ukrainian and Romanian pack of 2026 returns to sugar and to the British figures, gives its country of origin as Romania, and names Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine as importer and distributor.[4] Spanish and French labels are photographed too, but only as whole-bottle shots.

Both sweetenings are kept as their own observation with the date of the photograph that carries them, rather than ordered as a single change: nothing read gives a date on which either recipe started or stopped. Countries are recorded only where a mark, an operator address or a listing printing the barcode supports them, which is why the twenty countries Open Food Facts tags for this record are not adopted.[6] Wikidata attaches the same EAN-8 to its general Coca-Cola item rather than to this bottle.[8] The Croatian operator is the one company named here that had no page: the Global LEI index records it as COCA-COLA HBC HRVATSKA d.o.o. of Sachsova ulica 1, Zagreb.[9]

Coverage & research gaps (19)

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

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Context: 5 / 6 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 5 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • British label, Coke Original Taste sweetened with sugar: nutrient evidence: 13 / 13 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Croatian label, sweetened with fructose-glucose syrup: nutrient evidence: 16 / 16 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • Ukrainian and Romanian bilingual label made in Romania: nutrient evidence: 16 / 16 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
  • identity · not_applicable: The barcode is a GTIN-8, which GS1 allocates number by number, so there is no company prefix and no gs1_prefix_owner can be recorded. The archived 2008 page's line "Produced in Belgium or Luxembourg by Coca-Cola Company" was generated from the 544 range and is not evidence
  • relationships · unknown: Both photographs of the British label are crops that stop before the operator block, so the British food business operator is not recorded here; no fetched source names the operator for this barcode
  • relationships · unknown: The Ukrainian label gives the country of origin as Romania but names no Romanian producer, only the Ukrainian importer. Naming a Romanian group company on that basis alone would be a guess, so no manufactured_by row was written
  • nutrition · unknown: The Spanish label's panel and ingredient list were never photographed; the only Spanish upload is a whole-bottle front shot whose front-of-pack energy flash is too small to transcribe figure by figure
  • markets · unknown: A French label of this bottle is photographed, but a French-language label alone is not market evidence and no French listing printing this barcode was found, so France is not in country_of_sale
  • markets · disputed: Open Food Facts tags twenty countries for this barcode, including Ethiopia, Morocco, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Those are contributor claims; only the four countries with a printed mark, a printed operator or a listing that prints the barcode are recorded here
  • markets · unknown: Searched for an Amazon listing of this barcode on amazon.co.uk and amazon.es on 2026-09-17, by barcode and by name: no listing of this 500 ml bottle was found on either storefront
  • ingredients · unknown: The typed Open Food Facts ingredient statement follows the fructose-glucose-syrup recipe while the record's own countries span the whole of Europe; it is kept out of the rows here because each row set is transcribed from one photographed label instead
  • markets · unknown: Searched amazon.de on 2026-09-17 for "Coca-Cola Original Taste 500 ml PET bottle", the brand alone ("coca cola"), and 000054491472; plus "Coca-Cola Sparkling Soft Drink 500 ml" and a price-ascending pass: no listing of this article; Only multipacks of this bottle.
