How to find the model number, batch code and barcode
- Model number
- Usually on a label or sticker on the product itself (underside, back or frame), on the box, or in the manual. It may be called model, type, style or item number.
- Batch or lot code
- Printed or stamped on the packaging or product, often next to a date. On formula and baby food it is usually on the base or side of the tin or pack, near the best-before date.
- Barcode
- The 8 to 14 digits printed under the bars on the packaging. Type them into the check box on this page to compare them with the notices.
A notice names the product by some or all of these. If your brand matches but you cannot find the model, batch or barcode, treat it as a possible match and read the official notice or contact the maker.
