Amp Energy 16 fl oz: version 1

Saved 2026-09-25 20:03 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added UPC 012000160219, the 16 fl oz Amp Energy can named by family/mountain-dew-amp. Identity, ingredients and per-100 ml nutrition come from USDA FoodData Central record 489961 (Label Insight) and its Open Food Facts copy; brand owner PepsiCo per Wikipedia (USDA gives only AMP ENERGY); GS1 prefix owner company/pepsico as its stub states. The flavour is not named by any catalogue: the ingredient statement and per-can figures match exactly PepsiCo's retired SmartLabel page for Amp Tropical Punch (UPC 012000160202), recorded as a comparison and an identity gap rather than as the name. PepsiCo product facts answers Invalid Product for this GTIN and no SmartLabel page exists for it; amazon.com searched with no listing (markets gap). No licensed photo exists.. This is the current version.
