| sl-2022 | nutrition | not_researched | PepsiCo's SmartLabel revisions for this UPC load their nutrition, ingredient and allergen tabs from a script, so the printed per-can panel and caffeine figure could not be transcribed. | ^sl12 |
| | identity | disputed | The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page for this UPC, copied from Amazon.com, titled it a pink leather case for a Creative Zen Vision:M player. USDA, PepsiCo's SmartLabel and retailer listings all name this Code Red 12-pack, so the old title is treated as an Amazon data error. | ^oldbp |
| | identity | unknown | Kroger, Meijer and Dollar General list a Code Red 12 × 12 fl oz can pack under a second UPC, 012000809989; whether it is a different carton (such as a Fridge Mate) or a replacement was not established. | |
| | markets | not_researched | Retailer listings for this UPC (Giant Eagle and Kroger banners) refused both fetchers, so no dated price was recorded. | ^gianteagle |
| | images | unknown | No openly licensed photo of this pack was found; Open Food Facts holds no record for the barcode. | |

## About <!--about-->
Mountain Dew Code Red is the cherry-flavoured extension of PepsiCo's Mountain Dew, and this barcode is its 12-pack of 12 fl oz (355 ml) cans, 144 fl oz in all, for the United States.[^sl12] USDA Branded Foods names Pepsi-Cola North America as brand owner and records a caffeinated recipe of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and concentrated orange juice, coloured with Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1.[^usda] PepsiCo released Code Red to US stores in May 2001, after considering the name Wild Cherry Mountain Dew; it was the brand's first large-scale move beyond its flagship flavour and lifted Mountain Dew sales by six per cent in its first year.[^wikicr]
The 2007 Barcodepedia entry for this UPC, copied from Amazon.com, described a pink leather case for a Creative Zen Vision:M player; every current source names the Code Red 12-pack.[^oldbp][^usda] PepsiCo has retired one of its two SmartLabel revisions for the barcode, both dated 24 May 2022.[^sl11]
