Need the U.P.C. Database?

At the outset, YES I have the U.P.C. Database. In fact, I have many U.P.C. Databases.

However, before you send me an E-Mail requesting database files, YOU need to know what to ask for.

---

Before I tell you, let's look at the structure of a U.P.C.:

The first six digits above - 614141 (in this example) - are the Company Prefix assigned by GS1 US (formerly the Uniform Code Council).

The next five digits - 00027 - are the Company's internal Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) or product number.

The final digit - 2 - is a computer generated check digit.

While Company information is available from GS1 US, product information (the SKU and corresponding U.P.C.) is not.

For those of you still reading, I would assume that you are seeking MORE than just Company information. To that end, what you are really seeking is an

INGREDIENTS - (for Fritos Corn Chips) Corn, Corn Oil, Salt, etc.
