## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ----------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| | identity | disputed | The current GDSN record describes a single 12 fl oz aluminium can, while the 2007 Barcodepedia entry (data credited to Amazon.com) described a 6 × 12 fl oz carton of 72 fl oz; no retailer page printing this UPC was found and PepsiCo SmartLabel has no page for it (smartlabel.pepsico.info/012000004940-0001 to -0005-en-US answered HTTP 404 on 2026-09-13), so the configuration the number identifies today is unconfirmed. | ^oldbp |
| | markets | unknown | Whether the article is still shipped is unknown: no dated retailer listing carries this UPC, so no status or last_seen is recorded. | |
| usda-label | ingredients | stale | The GDSN statement lists sucralose and acesulfame potassium; Wikipedia reports PepsiCo returned Diet Pepsi to aspartame market-wide from 25 February 2018, so the current can may carry a different sweetener list. | ^wikidietpepsi |
| usda-label | nutrition | not_researched | Values are USDA's per-100 ml restatement, not a transcription of the printed panel; the printed per-can column is unread. | ^usda |
| | images | not_researched | No photograph of this pack: the Open Food Facts record has no photos and no licensed picture was found. | ^off |

## About <!--about-->
Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi in a 12 fl oz can is PepsiCo's sugar-free, caffeine-free cola as recorded for the United States by USDA Branded Foods under this UPC, with Pepsico Inc. named as brand owner and the article described as a single 12 fluid ounce aluminium can.[^usda] That label statement sweetens it with sucralose and acesulfame potassium.[^usda] PepsiCo's product facts page for the 12 fl oz can of this formula gives 0 mg caffeine per can.[^ppf12] Diet Pepsi, the line it belongs to, was test marketed as Patio in 1963 and became the first diet cola distributed nationally in the United States; Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, introduced in 1982, was its first variant.[^wikidietpepsi]
The 2006-2013 Barcodepedia entry for this barcode, with data credited to Amazon.com, described it in 2007 as a 6-pack of 12 fl oz cans (72 fl oz), so which configuration the number identifies today is unresolved.[^oldbp] Wikipedia reports that PepsiCo returned Diet Pepsi to aspartame in 2018, so cans on the shelf may differ from the USDA statement.[^wikidietpepsi]
