Products with several byproducts

Several lists of ingredients and several nutritional tables; multiproduct packs.

Identical products with different branding

Hundreds of products are only different in their brands and distributors, having the same ingredients, nutritional composition, weights, formats... For example:

Products with same bar code

  • Images of 4 different products have been uploaded for (see product 5901234123457 m). I can't confirm any of these with a simple web search. This EAN is also often used for illustration purposes on e.g. Wikipedia and Python sample code
    • Terrafrika One Cola,
    • Bridelice cream or milk (not sure),
    • Eggo Waffles
    • "Diamond" dietary supplement
  • 20408466
    • ASDA 15 eggs
    • Crackers goût Pizza Crusti Croc (LIDL)
  • Mineral waters with the same brand and codebar but from different mineral springs (and with different mineral composition).

Aldi's products

Lidl's products

Dia's products

Products with two barcodes

Products with an EAN without the barcode

Products with strange nutritional information

There is a label for incorrect information nutritional facts, as linked here.

Other noteworthy products

  • (see product 5000242452693 m): Slow cooked tender prime steak in a rich gravy infused with Guiness beer, baked in a unique Holland's golden shortcrust pie (21 words, 123 characters) is probably the longest product name we stumbled upon.
  • (see product 7622300118969 m): In response to above (see next too), a generic name can be found on this product consisting of Producto en polvo para la preparación de una bebida refrescante aromatizada que contiene zumo de naranja deshidratado, zumo de fresa deshidratado, puré de mango deshidratado y aroma tropical, con azúcar y edulcorantes (32 words, 217 characters).

Products with different ingredients in multiple languages

Additionally:

  • (see product 5449000011527 m): Swiss Fanta has the same barcode as the French Fanta manu1400 but it looks like (the picture is blurred) that the ingredients are different

Products with small item-dependent variations

Products with multiple possible sets of ingredients

  • (see product 4810268024313 m): the letter (which is to be found near the dates on the cap) is in parentheses after the ingredient.
  • (see product 4601512006724 m): same, but no comma ("или" means "or"), and there is an asterisk after the letter.

Variable nutrition data

Products whose packaging, ingredients, nutritional facts or Nutri-Score have changed

Some products, keeping their barcode unchanged, have their package, ingredients or nutritional values changed. In fact, this happens with all products in general. Also, some products have their Nutri-Score value changed at a given point, which can be noted down for reference.

Products with decorated barcodes

Some products have decorated artistically stylized barcodes. As product pictures aren't fully publicly visible on Open Food Facts, these barcodes are usually only accessed in the edit area with the full and original listing of uploaded pictures that each product has.

Some other products may also seem to feature decorated barcodes, but not having the actual barcode affected, they can't be technically considered. In their case, it's only the area surrounding the barcode that is decorated, just as any other area on the package can be decorated too.
