KCN currently records barcode 8801019183062 for CROWN CORN CHEESE 66g / 크라운 콘치 66g. Current Korean food-safety and retail data identify the 66g Crown product under barcode 8801111183062.
That is a one-digit difference near the beginning of the number, and it needs to be resolved before KCN publishes the product or sends a barcode sheet to a retailer.
Current Korean food-safety data for the 66g product lists 351 kcal per pack, 41g carbohydrate, 16g sugars, 19g fat, 12g saturated fat, 4g protein and 130mg sodium. The declared allergens include milk and soy. The ingredient data begins with corn powder and includes fats and dairy-derived components, which fits the product’s cheese-cream positioning.
KCN’s source sheet lists 18 units per carton. At 66g each, that gives 1.188 kg of declared food net weight per case.
The retail product is a corn-based snack with a cheese-cream flavor system, so it sits between savory corn snacks and sweeter coated corn products. That distinction matters when the retailer chooses shelf placement. It is not a dense cheese cracker, and it is not a plain corn puff.
The pack is also nitrogen-filled according to current Korean retail labeling. Nitrogen protects fragile snacks by reducing oxygen exposure and providing bag cushioning. That helps explain why an 18-bag carton can occupy much more space than 1.188kg of food suggests.
The importer should therefore request the current carton dimensions and gross weight before calculating freight. A nitrogen-filled bag is deliberately inefficient by weight because the gas headspace protects the snack.
The barcode problem should be fixed first. KCN should physically scan the retail pack and outer case, compare them with the supplier invoice, then update the catalogue. Publishing a wrong barcode into Google Merchant feeds, ERP systems or distributor master data is far harder to clean up later.
For now, the likely correct Korean retail barcode is 8801111183062, while KCN currently stores 8801019183062. This should remain flagged until the physical stock confirms it.
