This barcode is associated with a Co-op brand pasta sauce marketed as containing sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and chilli. Below are key details based on available information:

Product Overview

• Brand: Co-op (a UK-based supermarket chain with a focus on ethical and organic products).
• Type: Tomato-based pasta sauce, likely intended for cooking or as a condiment.
• Key Ingredients: Sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and chilli (flavor profile suggests a spicy, aromatic sauce).
• Possible Variations: Some Co-op products with similar barcodes may include additional ingredients like olive oil, herbs, or preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate in non-organic versions).

Nutritional & Allergen Considerations

• Allergens: Common in tomato-based sauces—contains tomatoes (a nightshade) and may include garlic (a potential allergen for some). Check the label for other allergens like nuts, soy, or gluten if applicable.
• Additives: Non-organic versions may contain:
  • Preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate).
  • Artificial colors/flavorings (less likely in Co-op’s organic/ethical lines).
  • Sugar (even in "natural" versions, as tomatoes are naturally sweet).
• Organic Status: Co-op’s "Organic" range (if this is the version) avoids synthetic pesticides, GMOs, and artificial additives. Non-organic versions may use conventional farming methods.
