Diet Pepsi 18 × 12 fl oz cans: version 1
Saved 2026-09-25 16:45 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Diet Pepsi 18 × 12 fl oz cans (UPC 012000027642), the barcode family/diet-pepsi names. Identity, brand owner (Pepsi-Cola North America Inc.), 216 fl oz package, one-can serving, ingredient statement and per-100 ml nutrition from USDA Branded Foods fdc_id 2493753; caffeine 35 mg and phosphorus 30 mg per 12 fl oz from PepsiCo product facts (GTIN 00012000008054); prefix owner company/pepsico per GS1 GDSN list; history and sweetener chronology from Wikipedia. Gaps: the amazon.com 18-can listing B07HRCQFTH prints another UPC (012000183706), recorded as an identity gap; no retail price (Amazon searches done, Walmart robot check); the USDA statement is the 2015-2018 sucralose recipe, so the current can label is unconfirmed; no licensed photo.. This is the current version.

| | identity | disputed | Amazon.com's listing "Diet Pepsi, 12 Fl Oz cans, Pack of 18" (ASIN B07HRCQFTH, 18 items, 216 fl oz) prints UPC 012000183706, not this barcode, when read on 2026-09-25. Whether 012000027642 is an older or parallel code for the same eighteen-can pack is unresolved; no source states a replacement, so no status, last_seen or superseded_by is recorded. | ^amazon |

Walmart items 683189211 and 14532500 (Diet Pepsi 18-pack cans) answered with a robot check. A web search for the 12- and 11-digit forms of the barcode returned no retailer page printing it. | ^amazon |
| usda-label | ingredients | disputed | The sucralose and acesulfame potassium statement stored here matches the 2015-2018 United States recipe, while Wikipedia's current United States ingredient list names aspartame; no photograph or dated label for this barcode exists, so which statement cans under it print now is unconfirmed. | ^wikidietpepsi |

## About <!--about-->
Diet Pepsi in a pack of eighteen 12 fl oz (355 ml) cans is a United States multipack of PepsiCo's sugar-free cola, recorded by USDA Branded Foods under this UPC with Pepsi-Cola North America Inc. as brand owner, a 216 fl oz (6.39 L) package and one can as the serving.[^usda] The label statement USDA holds sweetens it with sucralose and acesulfame potassium and names no aspartame.[^usda] PepsiCo's product facts page for Diet Pepsi in the 12 fl oz size gives 35 mg caffeine and 30 mg phosphorus per container.[^ppf12] Diet Pepsi was test marketed as Patio in 1963 and renamed the following year, becoming the first diet cola distributed nationally in the United States.[^wikidietpepsi]
The sweetener depends on when the cans were filled. Diet Pepsi moved from aspartame to sucralose in the United States in August 2015, and the aspartame formulation was released market-wide again on 25 February 2018; Wikipedia's current United States ingredient list names aspartame and acesulfame potassium.[^wikidietpepsi] The statement stored against this barcode is therefore a label from the sucralose period, although USDA only published the record in 2023.[^usda] Amazon.com's eighteen-can Diet Pepsi listing prints a different UPC, 012000183706.[^amazon]
