Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar 12 fl oz: version 1
Saved 2026-09-12 16:00 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **product/00012000003356 — Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar 12 fl oz**, from the discover wanted queue (the old site listed it as "diet mountain dew code red"). **Identity settled first.** The lookup flagged a conflict, but Open Food Facts and USDA name the same article; PepsiCo's own United States product facts page keyed to this GTIN (https://www.pepsicoproductfacts.com/Home/product?gtin=00012000003356) names it *Mountain Dew Code Red Zero Sugar - 12 fl oz*. The four SmartLabel revisions PepsiCo publishes under UPC 012000003356 document the rename precisely: revision 0001 is *Diet Mountain Dew, Code Red ... Low Calorie Dew*, marked retired, information updated 24 May 2022, and revision 0002 is *Mountain Dew, Zero Sugar, Code Red ...* updated the same day. Wikipedia's Mountain Dew Code Red article says the diet version, introduced 2002, was replaced by the Zero Sugar version in 2022. The page is written under the current name with "Diet Mountain Dew Code Red" as a `name` alias carrying `until: 2022-05-24`. **What is sourced.** Relations: brand owner and distributor PepsiCo (USDA record and the SmartLabel distributor block); `gs1_prefix_owner` company/pepsi-cola-north-america, which already states prefix 012000 in `gs1_prefixes`, so the registrant is not re-argued. Markets: one US row, sourced to PepsiCo's US product facts page, its en-US SmartLabel and the USDA record; no price, because no retailer listing carrying this single-can UPC was found (12 oz cans sell in multipacks under their own barcodes). Ingredients: the 14-item statement USDA captured in May 2018, as an `usda-label` observation with `valid_until: 2022-05-24` and every row carrying that `until`, since it is the retired Diet-name label. Nutrition: USDA's per-100 ml restatement as one panel, and PepsiCo's per-can caffeine (68 mg) and phosphorus (0 mg) as a second, the two figures shown outside its script-rendered widget. Pack history has both label eras. Structure version 2. **What is not.** No `default_observation` is set: no current, complete Zero Sugar label could be read, because all four SmartLabel revisions and the product facts nutrition panel render from a script. Recorded as research gaps, together with the stale 2018 ingredient statement, the missing market/price evidence, the absent packaging declaration, and the absence of any photo (Open Food Facts has the record but no images, and no licensed picture was found elsewhere, so no `off_images` or `images` are posted). **One stub created:** ingredient/potassium-citrates (E332), cited to Wikipedia, mirroring the existing ingredient/sodium-citrates. Everything else already existed and was reused: brand/mountain-dew, family/mountain-dew-code-red, company/pepsico, company/pepsi-cola-north-america, and twelve ingredient entities. The label's "Citrus Pectin" is recorded against the existing ingredient/pectin with the printed wording kept, rather than as a new near-duplicate entity.. Current is v2.

| 113 | 113 | | | ingredients | stale | The only ingredient statement found for this GTIN is USDA's capture of label data modified in May 2018, while the article was still sold as Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. Whether the recipe changed when PepsiCo renamed it Zero Sugar in 2022 is not established by any source read. | ^usda | | |
| 114 | 114 | | sl-2025 | ingredients | not_researched | PepsiCo's four SmartLabel revisions for this UPC load their ingredient, nutrition and allergen panels from a script, so the statement now printed on the can could not be read or transcribed. | ^sl4 | | |
| 115 | 115 | | ppf-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | PepsiCo's product facts page renders its nutrition label in a widget the server cannot read; only the caffeine and phosphorus figures printed outside it were transcribed. | ^ppf | | |
| 116 | 116 | | | markets | not_researched | Only a United States market is evidenced, from PepsiCo's own United States sites and the USDA record. No retailer listing carrying this single-can UPC was found, so no price or store evidence is recorded. | ^ppf | | |

| 118 | 118 | | | packaging | unknown | No packaging declaration was found. USDA's description calls the pack an aluminum can, which is a label string rather than a packaging declaration. | ^usda | | |

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ----------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------ |
| | ingredients | stale | The only ingredient statement found for this GTIN is USDA's capture of label data modified in May 2018, while the article was still sold as Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. Whether the recipe changed when PepsiCo renamed it Zero Sugar in 2022 is not established by any source read. | ^usda |
| sl-2025 | ingredients | not_researched | PepsiCo's four SmartLabel revisions for this UPC load their ingredient, nutrition and allergen panels from a script, so the statement now printed on the can could not be read or transcribed. | ^sl4 |
| ppf-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | PepsiCo's product facts page renders its nutrition label in a widget the server cannot read; only the caffeine and phosphorus figures printed outside it were transcribed. | ^ppf |
| | markets | not_researched | Only a United States market is evidenced, from PepsiCo's own United States sites and the USDA record. No retailer listing carrying this single-can UPC was found, so no price or store evidence is recorded. | ^ppf |
| | images | unknown | Open Food Facts holds a record for this barcode but no photographs, and no licensed picture of the can was found elsewhere. | ^off |
| | packaging | unknown | No packaging declaration was found. USDA's description calls the pack an aluminum can, which is a label string rather than a packaging declaration. | ^usda |

note: Built from the USDA Branded Foods GDSN record for this GTIN, the Open Food Facts record, PepsiCo's own product facts page keyed to this GTIN, its four SmartLabel revisions (which document the 2022 rename from Diet to Zero Sugar), Wikipedia for the variant's history, and the archived 2007 Barcodepedia entry the wanted list links to. No default observation is set: no current, complete label for the Zero Sugar article could be read.
