Saved 2026-09-25 16:51 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added Diet Pepsi Lemon 2 L (UPC 012000028595), a barcode named by family/diet-pepsi. Identity, brand owner (Pepsi-Cola North America Inc.), US market, the 2023 ingredient statement (aspartame-sweetened) and per-100 ml nutrition come from the USDA Branded Foods record fdc_id 2493757; the flavour context and launch history from Wikipedia (Diet Pepsi); the GS1 prefix owner follows the company/pepsico stub (GS1 GDSN trading-partner list). PepsiCo product facts answers Invalid Product for this GTIN, recorded as an identity gap with no status set. Amazon.com was searched (name, brand, barcode) with no listing: recorded as a markets gap. A DoorDash 2 L lemon listing refused the fetch and is not cited. No new stubs: brand/pepsi, family/diet-pepsi, company/pepsi-cola-north-america, company/pepsico and all ten ingredients already exist.. This is the current version.

| | identity | stale | PepsiCo's product facts site answers Invalid Product for this GTIN and no SmartLabel page exists for it, so whether the 2 L lemon article is still shipped is unconfirmed; no status is recorded. | ^ppfgtin |
| | markets | unknown | Searched amazon.com on 2026-09-25 for "Diet Pepsi Lemon 2 L", "diet pepsi lemon", "pepsi" and "012000028595": no listing of this article (lemon searches returned only other Diet Pepsi and Diet Mountain Dew articles; the barcode search returned nothing). | |
| | markets | not_researched | DoorDash lists a "Diet Pepsi NFL Kickoff Lemon Soda Bottle (2 L)", but the page refused the fetch (HTTP 403) on 2026-09-25, so its barcode and price were not read and it is not cited. | |
| usda-label | nutrition | not_researched | Values are USDA's per-100 ml restatement, not a transcription of the printed panel; the printed per-serving column and caffeine content are 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. | |
