Baguette de tradition française

Barcode 4009044363818 – Baguette de tradition française

This barcode corresponds to a product labeled as a "Baguette de tradition française" (Traditional French Baguette), a type of artisanal bread commonly found in France and European markets. Below are the details available based on available data:

Product Description

• Type: Baguette (a long, thin, crusty bread typically made from wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast).
• Claimed Origin: "Tradition française" suggests adherence to traditional French baking methods, though this does not guarantee 100% authenticity or compliance with strict French regulations (e.g., AOC or IGP labels).
• Common Characteristics:
  • Crusty exterior with a soft, airy interior.
  • Often baked in a wood-fired oven (though not always).
  • May contain additives like emulsifiers (e.g., E322, lecithin) or preservatives (e.g., E220–E228) depending on the brand.

Brand/Manufacturer Information

• The barcode prefix 40090 is assigned to Metro Cash & Carry (a wholesale distributor), which supplies products to retailers, restaurants, and small businesses. This means the baguette is likely sold under a private-label brand (e.g., a supermarket’s own brand) rather than a well-known bakery.
• Possible Retailers: The product may be sold in supermarkets, bakeries, or delis under a generic or store-brand name (e.g., "Carrefour," "Intermarché," or "Lidl" in France). Without direct access to the manufacturer’s database, the exact brand cannot be confirmed.

Price Range (Estimated)

Prices vary by region and retailer, but typical ranges for a single baguette (500–600g) in Europe are:

• France/Europe:
  • Supermarkets: €0.80–€1.50 per unit (often sold in packs of 6–12 for €4–€8).
  • Artisanal Bakeries: €1.50–€3.00 (if marketed as "traditional" or handmade).
• International Markets:
  • Prices may be higher due to import costs (e.g., €2–€4 in the UK or US for specialty stores).
