## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->

| | identity | disputed | USDA holds an identical Lemon Diet Cola record (fdc_id 2493756, 144 fl oz, one-can serving, same brand owner) under UPC 012000028588; which of the two numbers is on the outer carton, or whether they are two carton designs of one pack, is unresolved. | ^usda2 |
| | markets | unknown | Amazon.com: searches on 2026-09-25 for "diet pepsi lemon 12 pack", "diet pepsi lemon", the brand "diet pepsi" and the barcode 012000028571 returned no Diet Pepsi Lemon listing, only plain, caffeine-free and mini-can Diet Pepsi. | |
| | identity | unknown | PepsiCo's product facts site answers "Invalid Product" for this GTIN and no SmartLabel page was found, so whether the pack is still produced is unrecorded. | ^ppf |
| 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, including caffeine content, is unread. | ^usda |
| | images | not_researched | No photograph of this pack: Open Food Facts has no record for this barcode and no licensed picture was found. | |
