Starbucks Frappuccino Mocha Light Chilled Coffee Drink 9.5 fl oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-12 15:52 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Starbucks Frappuccino Mocha Light Chilled Coffee Drink, 9.5 fl oz (281 mL) glass bottle**, GTIN 00012000003257, from the wanted queue (the 2006-2013 site listed it as "frappuccino coffee drink mocha lite lowfat"). **Identity** settled on the maker's own SmartLabel page for UPC 012000003257, which prints the name "Starbucks, Frappuccino, Mocha Light, Chilled Coffee Drink", the net content "9.5 FL OZ (281 mL), Bottle" and the line "Distributed By North American Coffee Partnership, Purchase, NY 10577"; the page says its information was last updated 2022-05-24 by Starbucks. Open Food Facts and USDA both name the same article, so the lookup's `conflict` flag was a false alarm: the two entries carry identical titles and the identical ingredient statement. **Ingredients and allergens** are the label statement held in USDA Branded Foods (GDSN, fdc_id 1460569), transcribed in printed order with the compound "Brewed Starbucks Coffee (Water, Coffee)" kept as parent and children, plus the "CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS" declaration. **Nutrition** is one panel per 100 ml, USDA's normalisation of the label; the printed per-bottle column has not been read and is recorded as a research gap, as is USDA's 285 ml serving against the pack's declared 281 mL. Existing entities were reused where they existed: ingredient/water, coffee, sugar, pectin, sucralose, ascorbic-acid and acesulfame-k (E950, rather than a new "acesulfame potassium"), and the existing company/pepsico stub. **Stubs created:** brand/starbucks; company/starbucks (legal name Starbucks Corporation, US-EIN 91-1325671, CIK 0000829224 from EDGAR); company/north-american-coffee-partnership (the 1994 PepsiCo-Starbucks joint venture named on the pack, owned_by both); family/frappuccino; ingredient/brewed-coffee, ingredient/reduced-fat-milk and ingredient/cocoa. **gs1_prefix_owner** is `derived` on company/pepsico for prefix 0012000: no stub states the prefix, and USDA (brand owner "Pepsico Inc.") and Open Food Facts ("PepsiCo") are the only sources naming an owner. The prefix could not be written into the existing company/pepsico stub, because discover only creates entities and an existing one is skipped - see the feedback post. **No photograph:** Open Food Facts holds no images for this barcode and the SmartLabel pack shot is unlicensed, so the page asks the community for one. Background (Frappuccino's origin at the Coffee Connection, the 1994 joint venture, the 1996 launch of the 9.5 fl oz bottle) is cited to Wikipedia; the 2007 Barcodepedia capture is cited for the old title only, not for origin - its "Produced in USA or Canada by Pepsi-Cola North America INC" line is prefix-generated.. Current is v3.

## About <!--about-->
Starbucks Frappuccino Mocha Light is the reduced-calorie version of the bottled Frappuccino coffee drink, sold in the United States in a 9.5 fl oz (281 mL) glass bottle.[^smartlabel] The label lists brewed Starbucks coffee and reduced-fat milk with cocoa, sugar, pectin and the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame potassium, and declares milk as an allergen.[^usda] Bottled Frappuccino is the work of the North American Coffee Partnership, the joint venture PepsiCo and Starbucks formed in 1994 so that ready-to-drink products carrying the Starbucks name could travel on Pepsi's distribution network; the 9.5 fl oz bottle was first produced in 1996.[^wikifrap] The maker's digital label names that partnership, at Purchase, New York, as the distributor of this pack.[^smartlabel]

The barcode is an old one: the first Barcodepedia recorded it in 2007 under the title "Frappuccino Coffee Drink Mocha Lite Lowfat", with the container given as 9 oz.[^oldbcp] The Starbucks name on the front belongs to Starbucks Corporation of Seattle, founded in 1971.[^wikisbux]
