Its nutrition tab gives the serving as 1 bottle, 6 servings per container, and lists the nutrients the bottle is not a significant source of by name; its allergens tab states that the product contains none of the FDA's major food allergens. Earlier SmartLabel versions for the UPC dated 24 May 2022 (marked retired), 7 September 2022 (retired), 17 August 2023, 22 September 2023 and 13 October 2023 carry the same ingredient statement and caffeine content. | 101.4 floz | 6 | | bottle | | | |

That claim belongs to the sucralose recipe Diet Pepsi sold in the United States from August 2015 until aspartame returned in 2018, so the image shows an older pack than the aspartame statement the maker now publishes; the upload date is not the date of the pack. | 101.4 floz | 6 | | bottle | | | |

Both print serving size 1 bottle, 0 calories, sodium 50 mg (2% DV), caffeine content 50 mg/16.9 fl oz, "Phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine" and "Bottled under the authority of PepsiCo, Inc., Purchase, NY 10577", matching the maker's page.

| 105 | 105 | | off-front | images | disputed | The only image of the six-pack itself is a rendering of the "Now aspartame free" wrap from the 2015-2018 sucralose period; no photograph of the current aspartame pack exists. | ^off | | |

Its nutrition tab gives the serving as 1 bottle, 6 servings per container, and lists the nutrients the bottle is not a significant source of by name; its allergens tab states that the product contains none of the FDA's major food allergens. Earlier SmartLabel versions for the UPC dated 24 May 2022 (marked retired), 7 September 2022 (retired), 17 August 2023, 22 September 2023 and 13 October 2023 carry the same ingredient statement and caffeine content. | 101.4 floz | 6 | | bottle | |

That claim belongs to the sucralose recipe Diet Pepsi sold in the United States from August 2015 until aspartame returned in 2018, so the image shows an older pack than the aspartame statement the maker now publishes; the upload date is not the date of the pack. | 101.4 floz | 6 | | bottle | |

| | markets | unknown | No dated retail price for this pack is cited. | |
| off-bottle | identity | unknown | The Open Food Facts photographs other than the front rendering show single 16.9 fl oz bottles; whether those bottles came from this six-pack or carry the single-bottle UPC 012000172236 is not shown in the photographs. | ^off |
| | ingredients | disputed | The typed ingredient text on the Open Food Facts record (sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, "colour (caramel e150d)") matches neither the photographed bottle labels nor PepsiCo's SmartLabel and USDA statements, which list potassium benzoate and no sodium citrate; it reads like another market's recipe. | ^off |
| off-front | images | disputed | The only image of the six-pack itself is a rendering of the "Now aspartame free" wrap from the 2015-2018 sucralose period; no photograph of the current aspartame pack exists. | ^off |
