Mug Root Beer 12 fl oz: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 21:51 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Mug Root Beer 12 fl oz** (UPC 012000008993, GTIN 00012000008993), a barcode from the wanted list (old 2007 title: "mug root beer 6 pack of 12 fl oz cans 72 fl oz"). **Identity:** PepsiCo's SmartLabel (12 FL OZ (355 mL), Can), PepsiCo's product-facts page (1 can, 1 per container), USDA FDC 1460030, Open Food Facts and the Oklahoma DHS SNAP UPC list (Jan 2026) all name the single 12 fl oz can. PepsiCo Partners sells the 2/12-pack case under a different UPC (012000810008). The old page's six-pack title and a ShopRite URL filed under 72 fl oz disagree with that, so this is recorded as a disputed identity research gap and the page follows the maker. The lookup's `conflict` was spurious: OFF and USDA both name the same can. **Content:** ingredients (9 rows, one label revision) come from PepsiCo's 2012 fact sheet and match the USDA GDSN statement word for word. The per-can panel (160 kcal, 0 g fat, 65 mg sodium, 43 g carbs, 43 g sugars, 0 g protein) is from the fact sheet. The per-100 ml panel is from USDA. Caffeine and phosphorus (both 0 mg) are from PepsiCo product facts. Relations: brand_owner_at_sale PepsiCo (USDA), distributed_by PepsiCo (verified, SmartLabel), and gs1_prefix_owner Pepsi-Cola North America (sourced, following that stub's gs1_prefixes 012000). US Markets row from the SmartLabel distributor block, with the SNAP list as a second source. **Unresolved:** the current can ingredient statement and full nutrition panel (they load via JavaScript; the 2 L's current list dropped modified food starch), retail price, country of origin, and photos (OFF has none). Existing brand/mug, family/mug-root-beer, companies and ingredients were reused; no stubs were created.. Current is v2.

| 92 | 92 | | | identity | disputed | The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page, copied from Amazon, called this code a six-pack of 12 fl oz cans (72 fl oz), and a ShopRite product URL still files it under 72 fl oz. PepsiCo's SmartLabel and product-facts pages, USDA and Oklahoma's SNAP list all give it as one 12 fl oz can, 1 per container, and PepsiCo sells the 2/12-pack case under its own UPC 012000810008. The can barcode is probably scanned through multipacks at some stores; this page follows the maker. ShopRite answered 403 to server-side retrieval. | ^smartlabel | | |
| 93 | 93 | | us-maker-2026 | ingredients | unknown | The current ingredient statement for the can was not obtained: SmartLabel (updated 2023-09-07) and PepsiCo's product-facts page draw it in JavaScript. The 2-litre bottle's current retail statement no longer lists modified food starch, so the can's label may have changed since 2017. | ^smartlabel | | |
| 94 | 94 | | us-maker-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | The current printed Nutrition Facts column (added sugars, %DV under the 2016 FDA format) was not retrieved; the per-can figures come from the 2012 fact sheet. | ^pepsicofacts | | |
| 95 | 95 | | | identity | unknown | No source states a country of origin for this can, so none is recorded. | | | |
| 96 | 96 | | | markets | not_researched | No dated retail price: ShopRite, Walmart and Lowes Foods refused server-side retrieval. | | | |

| 127 | 127 | Mug Root Beer in the 12 fl oz (355 mL) can is the single-serve can of PepsiCo's root beer in the United States, one can per container, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York.[^smartlabel] PepsiCo lists it with no caffeine.[^pepsicofacts] Its label statement declares carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sodium benzoate, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, modified food starch, calcium disodium EDTA and quillaia extract, and one can gives 160 calories and 43 g of sugars.[^factsheet][^usda] Multipacks carry their own barcode: PepsiCo sells the 24-can case of two 12-packs under UPC 012000810008.[^pepsicopartners] The old Barcodepedia page of 2007 described this code as a six-pack of cans.[^oldpage] | |

| 129 | 129 | The drink began in San Francisco in 1940 as Belfast Root Beer, became Belfast Old Fashioned Mug Root Beer during the 1950s and was then shortened to Mug Root Beer. PepsiCo bought the brand in 1986, replacing its own On-Tap Draft Style Root Beer, and the label has since carried a bulldog named Dog holding a glass of root beer.[^wikipedia-mug] | |

| | identity | disputed | The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page, copied from Amazon, called this code a six-pack of 12 fl oz cans (72 fl oz), and a ShopRite product URL still files it under 72 fl oz. PepsiCo's SmartLabel and product-facts pages, USDA and Oklahoma's SNAP list all give it as one 12 fl oz can, 1 per container, and PepsiCo sells the 2/12-pack case under its own UPC 012000810008. The can barcode is probably scanned through multipacks at some stores; this page follows the maker. ShopRite answered 403 to server-side retrieval. | ^smartlabel |
| us-maker-2026 | ingredients | unknown | The current ingredient statement for the can was not obtained: SmartLabel (updated 2023-09-07) and PepsiCo's product-facts page draw it in JavaScript. The 2-litre bottle's current retail statement no longer lists modified food starch, so the can's label may have changed since 2017. | ^smartlabel |
| us-maker-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | The current printed Nutrition Facts column (added sugars, %DV under the 2016 FDA format) was not retrieved; the per-can figures come from the 2012 fact sheet. | ^pepsicofacts |
| | identity | unknown | No source states a country of origin for this can, so none is recorded. | |
| | markets | not_researched | No dated retail price: ShopRite, Walmart and Lowes Foods refused server-side retrieval. | |
| | images | unknown | Open Food Facts holds no photograph of this can and no freely licensed picture was found. | ^off |
