Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar 12 fl oz: version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 21:58 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar 12 fl oz can (UPC 012000009389, wanted as "diet mug root beer"). Identity settled from PepsiCo's SmartLabel (three versions for this UPC, 2022-2024, all 12 FL OZ (355 mL) can, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc.) and PepsiCo's product-facts page; the USDA GDSN record and Open Food Facts (same line of evidence) name it Diet Mug Root Beer with brand owner PepsiCo. The lookup's `conflict` only listed OFF and USDA naming the same product, so it was not a real disagreement. Ingredients and per-100 ml nutrition come from the USDA GDSN label record (older Diet Mug label); caffeine and phosphorus from PepsiCo. Unresolved: current can ingredient statement (USDA's 2023 record for the 12-pack UPC 012000810077 adds malic acid, acesulfame K and sucralose, recorded only as a research gap), current per-can Nutrition Facts, retail price, photo. No family set: no source puts this can in family/mug-root-beer. No stubs created; brand/mug, company/pepsico, company/pepsi-cola-north-america and all eight ingredients already exist.. Current is v2.

| 90 | 90 | | us-smartlabel-2024 | ingredients | unknown | The current ingredient statement for the single can was not obtained: SmartLabel and PepsiCo's product-facts page draw it in JavaScript. USDA's Label Insight record for the Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar 12-pack (UPC 012000810077, 2023-01-05) lists a newer statement adding malic acid, acesulfame potassium and sucralose, so the can's label has probably changed since the GDSN record; that statement belongs to another barcode and is not recorded as this can's. | ^usda-12pack | | |
| 91 | 91 | | us-maker-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | The current printed Nutrition Facts column per can (calories, sodium, %DV) was not retrieved; per-100 ml figures come from the older USDA GDSN record. | ^pepsicofacts | | |

When the can changed from Diet Mug to Zero Sugar is not established, so the Diet Mug alias carries no dates. | ^smartlabel-2023 | | |

| 125 | 125 | Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar in the 12 fl oz (355 mL) can is the single-serve can of PepsiCo's sugar-free Mug root beer in the United States, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York.[^smartlabel] The same UPC was earlier labelled Diet Mug Root Beer, and PepsiCo's SmartLabel still showed one version of the can under that name in October 2023.[^usda][^smartlabel-2023] Its GDSN label statement lists carbonated water, caramel color, sodium benzoate, aspartame, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, quillaia extract and calcium disodium EDTA, with 0 kcal and 0 g sugars per 100 ml.[^usda] PepsiCo lists it with no caffeine.[^pepsicofacts] The old Barcodepedia page of 2007 knew the code as Diet Mug Root Beer, 12 fl oz.[^oldpage] | |
| 126 | 126 | ||
| 127 | 127 | Sugar Free Mug was introduced in the late 1960s and later renamed Diet Mug Root Beer. PepsiCo bought the Mug brand in 1986, replacing its own On-Tap Draft Style Root Beer.[^wikipedia-mug] | |

| us-smartlabel-2024 | ingredients | unknown | The current ingredient statement for the single can was not obtained: SmartLabel and PepsiCo's product-facts page draw it in JavaScript. USDA's Label Insight record for the Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar 12-pack (UPC 012000810077, 2023-01-05) lists a newer statement adding malic acid, acesulfame potassium and sucralose, so the can's label has probably changed since the GDSN record; that statement belongs to another barcode and is not recorded as this can's. | ^usda-12pack |
| us-maker-2026 | nutrition | not_researched | The current printed Nutrition Facts column per can (calories, sodium, %DV) was not retrieved; per-100 ml figures come from the older USDA GDSN record. | ^pepsicofacts |
| | identity | unknown | PepsiCo's SmartLabel holds three versions for this UPC: "Mug, Zero Sugar, Root Beer, Zero Sugar Soda" (updated 2022-05-24), "Diet Mug, Root Beer, Zero Calorie Soda" (2023-10-14) and "Mug, Root Beer, Zero Sugar Soda" (2024-02-24). When the can changed from Diet Mug to Zero Sugar is not established, so the Diet Mug alias carries no dates. | ^smartlabel-2023 |
| | identity | unknown | No source states a country of origin for this can, so none is recorded. | |
| | markets | not_researched | No dated retail price for the single can: retailer listings found carry multipacks under their own barcodes, and Kroger did not answer server-side retrieval. | |
| | images | unknown | Open Food Facts holds no photograph of this can, and the SmartLabel product image carries no licence for reuse. | ^off |

## About <!--about-->
Mug Root Beer Zero Sugar in the 12 fl oz (355 mL) can is the single-serve can of PepsiCo's sugar-free Mug root beer in the United States, distributed by PepsiCo, Inc. of Purchase, New York.[^smartlabel] The same UPC was earlier labelled Diet Mug Root Beer, and PepsiCo's SmartLabel still showed one version of the can under that name in October 2023.[^usda][^smartlabel-2023] Its GDSN label statement lists carbonated water, caramel color, sodium benzoate, aspartame, citric acid, natural and artificial flavor, quillaia extract and calcium disodium EDTA, with 0 kcal and 0 g sugars per 100 ml.[^usda] PepsiCo lists it with no caffeine.[^pepsicofacts] The old Barcodepedia page of 2007 knew the code as Diet Mug Root Beer, 12 fl oz.[^oldpage]
Sugar Free Mug was introduced in the late 1960s and later renamed Diet Mug Root Beer. PepsiCo bought the Mug brand in 1986, replacing its own On-Tap Draft Style Root Beer.[^wikipedia-mug]
