🔍 What we found about this product

A factual report of what public registries and product databases returned for this EAN. We do not authenticate products or issue safety verdicts — we only report what we found.

Identifier checks

• 📋 EAN format: the GTIN-13 mod-10 checksum is consistent with the GS1 standard (format check only; does not authenticate the physical product)
• 📋 GS1 prefix 500 indicates the issuing office in United Kingdom (this is the country where the brand owner registered the EAN; it is not necessarily where the product was manufactured. Source: GS1 country code list)
• 📋 Brand entries found: no entry for Mc Vities in the Wikidata brand registry (our coverage of Wikidata is partial; absence is not a finding either way)
• 📋 Listed in 2 of the public product catalogues we check: Open Food Facts, Nudger GTIN dataset (CC-BY 4.0) (catalogue presence only; the listing itself does not authenticate the product)

Registry scans

• 📋 Recall registry scan returned 0 matches (sources scanned: CPSC, FDA, RAPEX, Health Canada, NHTSA. Coverage gaps exist; we cannot speak to records outside these registries)
• 📋 Substance database scan returned 4 name matches with H-codes / regulated-substance entries (see substances section. This is a name match against label/ingredient text only; it does not confirm batch presence)
• 📋 Banned-ingredient scan (EU Cosmetic Annex II) returned 0 matches (source: EU Reg. 1223/2009. Scanned against available label text only)
• 📋 Certifications listed in our databases: none found (registries scanned: EU Ecolabel, US ENERGY STAR, US EPA Safer Choice. Many legitimate products are not enrolled in these schemes)
• 📋 Medical device registry: not listed in US FDA GUDID or EU EUDAMED (most consumer products are not medical devices and would not be expected to appear)
