## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ----------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| usda-label | ingredients | disputed | The USDA statement names sucralose and acesulfame potassium, the blend Diet Pepsi used in the United States from August 2015; Wikipedia reports aspartame restored market-wide on 25 February 2018. The record's label data are dated January 2023, so which sweetener the bottle now on sale carries is unconfirmed without a label photo or a maker ingredient page for this GTIN. | ^wikidietpepsi |
| | identity | unknown | PepsiCo's product facts site answers "Invalid Product" for GTIN 00012000108525 and lists a 16 fl oz Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry under 00012000173509, whose SmartLabel describes a 6 x 16 fl oz pack. Whether the site's gtin endpoint is a barcode lookup at all is doubtful (the Diet Pepsi Lime page here records it refusing current articles), so the answer is no evidence either way; no status is recorded. | ^ppfgtin |
| usda-label | nutrition | not_researched | Values are USDA's per-100 ml restatement, not a transcription of the printed panel; the printed per-bottle column and caffeine figure are unread. | ^usda |
| | markets | not_researched | amazon.com searched on 2026-09-25 in Grocery for "Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry 16 fl oz", for the brand "pepsi" and for the barcode "012000108525" (no results): no listing of this single 16 fl oz bottle; Amazon offers Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry only in other sizes and multipacks. | |
| | markets | not_researched | No retailer page printing this barcode was found through web searches for its 12-, 13- and 14-digit forms on 2026-09-25; PepsiCo SmartLabel has no page under 012000108525 (revisions 0001, 0002, 0010, 0011 and 0014 answer 404). | |
| | images | not_researched | No photograph of this pack under a reusable licence: Open Food Facts holds no record for this barcode. | |
