Consumers were concerned when they noticed that the barcode on bottles of Valpré water does not start with ‘600’, the code for South Africa.Consumers do not have to worry: Valpré water, whichis bottled by Coca-Cola, is indeed from South Africa and is not imported from another country. It is the real deal.
Ntaba says Coca-Cola further explained that the company uses internationally acquired GS1 barcodes and those acquired in South Africa for their products produced in South Africa. Therefore, according to Coca-Cola, the bar-coding system is not entirely used to identify the country of origin of its products.
“As the country grapples with foodborne illnesses, it is important for suppliers to promptly respond to questions about the labelling of foodstuffs, especially when the authenticity of products is questioned.
