Algerian Supermarket Product Catalogue (Barcodes)

Source: Kaggle, "algeria Supermarket product" by nassimguechoud (kaggle.com/datasets/nassimguechoud/algeria-supermarket-product). "Unknown" licence — not declared by the author on Kaggle (see Usage below).

42,010 product references: barcode, internal point-of-sale reference, product designation, applicable VAT rate.

Actual content limitation: the source file also advertises columns for purchase price, stock quantity, sale price (wholesale/retail) and expiry date — these 6 columns are empty or zero across all 42,010 rows (verified row by row), and were therefore removed from this product rather than published as if they carried real data. This dataset is in fact a barcode/designation reference, not a stock or pricing dataset despite its original name.

Cleaning performed: source file encoded in cp1252 (accents broken in UTF-8), semicolon-delimited with French-style decimals — reconverted to standard UTF-8 CSV.
