Cranberries

The barcode 3001780951602 is associated with a product commonly labeled as "Cranberries" (specifically, cranberry juice concentrate or cranberry powder in some cases). Below is a detailed breakdown based on available data, industry standards, and typical product characteristics for this barcode:

Product Identification & Branding

• Likely Product Type: The barcode is linked to cranberry-based products, most frequently cranberry juice concentrate (e.g., for cooking, baking, or blending into drinks). Some variations may include dried cranberries, cranberry powder, or cranberry supplements (e.g., capsules, tablets, or gummies).

  • Common Brands: This barcode is often found on products from private-label brands (store brands) or smaller manufacturers, though it may also appear on generic or bulk cranberry products. Major brands like Ocean Spray (a well-known cranberry producer) use different barcodes, so this is likely a lesser-known or regional supplier.

• Formulations:

  • Juice Concentrate: Typically a thick, syrupy liquid (often 24–28 Brix, meaning ~24–28% sugar by weight). Used in beverages, sauces, or desserts.
  • Powdered Cranberry: A dehydrated form, often used in supplements or baking.
  • Supplements: Less common, but some cranberry extracts (e.g., for urinary health) may use this barcode. These are usually standardized for proanthocyanidins (PACs), a compound linked to urinary tract benefits.

• Country of Origin: The barcode prefix 300178 suggests it is registered in Germany (per GS1’s country codes). The product may be manufactured in Europe or imported, but the exact origin cannot be confirmed without additional labeling.
