About this product

Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C is a medicated sore-throat lozenge sold in Malaysia in a 24-lozenge carton whose front panel reads "Soothing relief for sore throats".[1] Strepsils is a Reckitt brand of throat lozenges, launched by Boots Healthcare as a mouthwash in 1950 and as lozenges in 1958, and one of the Boots Healthcare brands Reckitt Benckiser bought in 2006.[2] Reckitt's Malaysian brand site gives the core range two antiseptics, dichlorophenylcarbinol 1.2 mg and amylmetacresol 0.6 mg per lozenge;[3] the Vitamin C-100 variant adds 100 mg of vitamin C.[2] The photographed carton carries the Malaysian Ministry of Health Meditag security hologram and a Kuala Lumpur pharmacy's RM 14.60 price sticker,[1] and the barcode was already on the old Barcodepedia in 2007 as "Strepsils Vitamin C-100".[4]

RB (Health) Malaysia Sdn Bhd, the Reckitt group's Malaysian health company, is named by GS1 Malaysia's own Verified by GS1 search portal as the brand owner behind this barcode, with registration number 1297081-V and an address at Menara 1 Sentrum on Jalan Tun Sambanthan in Kuala Lumpur.[5] The barcode's GS1 company prefix, 9556108, is therefore recorded against that company as sourced rather than inferred from the brands Open Food Facts files under the same digits.[6]

Coverage & research gaps (15)

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 / 6 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
  • identity · unknown: The NPRA (MAL) product registration number is not recorded: the QUEST3+ product search at quest3plus.bpfk.gov.my is a JavaScript form with no fetchable result URL, and MIMS Malaysia answers 403 to both the server and a browser
  • ingredients · not_researched: Only the front of the carton has been photographed, so the printed composition, excipients and the Malaysian label wording have not been read
  • packaging · unknown: country_of_origin is not established; the front panel does not state where the lozenges are made and no back photo exists
  • relationships · disputed: The 2007 Barcodepedia capture of this barcode says "Produced in Malaysia by The Boots Company (Far East) Pte Ltd"; the old site generated that line and Reckitt acquired the Boots Healthcare brands in 2006, so no manufacturer relation is recorded
  • markets · unknown: A Hong Kong listing of this barcode by Yu Fung Medicine Company on HKTVmall now answers a "Not Found" page, so HK is not recorded as a market
  • markets · not_applicable: Amazon operates no Malaysian storefront, so no Amazon listing can evidence this carton's own market; amazon.sg and amazon.com, the storefronts that could carry it as an import, were both searched on 2026-09-17 and their listings are cited in Markets
  • markets · unknown: Neither Amazon listing prints a barcode: amazon.sg B01N6RKWT9 and amazon.com B07YZM593X carry this carton's name and 24-lozenge count but no GTIN, and Strepsils Orange with Vitamin C is sold under separate national barcodes, so SG and US stay derived Markets rows and are not added to country_of_sale
  • 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.
  • schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
